WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
February 2017FloodSan Jacinto$3,000,000Rain on a much above normal snow pack combined with frozen ground caused extensive flooding. About 30 homes and a few businesses in both Montello and Wells were flooded along with some homes and outbuildings in rural areas. Many rural roads were damaged and had washouts. US highway 93 was closed both south and north of Wells for a time as flood waters submerged the road. Salmon Falls Creek overflowed US highway 93 and completely submerged the adjoining rest area. Extensive shoulder damage was reported along US Highway 93 mainly north of Wells. All the runoff caused the Humboldt River to rise above flood stage. This caused extensive flooding of homes and businesses along and near the Humboldt River in Elko. Interstate 80 between Elko and Wells was reduced to one lane in places due to flood waters over the road. A total of 25 homes in Elko, Wells, and Montello were totally destroyed or suffered extensive damage.
August 1999Flash FloodSan Jacinto$3,000Flash flooding was reported on the San Jacinto ranch along the Trout Creek drainage. The flood waters washed out a culvert and moved it 150 yards downstream. The flood waters also washed out some fences. The water depths were estimated at 8 feet deep.
