Starting to Rebuild fence

I have started to rebuild the fence line that this summers massive rain fall washed away. What is weird is I have only found some small pieces of wire. Almost everything is gone. There are some T-Posts still standing but they are literally bent in half. These are 7 foot posts with 2 1/2 feet in the ground.
You can see from the picture how high the water was. All of this was under rushing water.
I am trying to rebuild so the fence can handle 5+ feet of rushing water. I am bracing the fence from my side - the water runs west to east and my land is east of the fence line.
This is a lot of exercise and my body is letting me know it does not appreciate the abuse!
Have a lot more to do and still have not completed my winter chores.
