The San Jacinto West Fork at US 59 has reached a record-breaking high water level as of today, Tuesday, August 29th, 2017. US 59 is completely impassable at the San Jacinto river.
At 69.1 feet, as of 1:30PM, it's just enough to take its place in first as the highest water level ever recorded for the San Jacinto. Yes, even more than the 1994 flood. In fact, this new record surpasses all others including measures taken all the way back to the first high river water mark measured in this location back in 1929.
