Flash Flood. Interstate-10, a major throughway between Phoenix, AZ and Southern California, had a section of the two eastbound (EB) lanes fully washed out due to flash flooding. Video during the washout appear to show the drainage pipes under the road were overcome and compromised by the magnitude of floodwaters. Radar rainfall estimates in this area were around 2-3 inches, with much of the rain falling in less than 2 hours. The washout occurred a few miles east of State Route 177/Desert Center. Caltrans closed I-10 EB due to the washout. I-10 westbound (WB) was also closed briefly due to an overturned semi-truck and SR-177 had already been closed, due to its own separate flooding impacts and downed power lines, by the time of the I-10 washout. This caused major traffic delays and detours through Eastern Riverside County. One EB detour lane was opened around 0700PST on August 25th after emergency construction and the second EB detour lane was not opened until 2300PST August 27th. Timing of flooding impacts based on radar. No injuries were reported from this event.
