Hurricane Harvey

In 2017, during Hurricane Harvey, the San Jacinto River overflowed its banks, causing between 3–8 feet of water to flow through every home in Woodloch. The flooding was exacerbated by a record release of 79,000 cubic feet of water per second from Lake Conroe. As a result, the entire city was forced to evacuate. Although an estimated 25 water rescues were performed in Woodloch, no storm-related deaths were reported. [12]
