Jaunary 7, 2016 (Jamul) --Honey Springs Road will be shut down all night due to power lines downed by vehicle that struck a power pole this evening, while awaiting SDG&E repairs, the CHP website indicates. A SIG Alert has been issued.

Highway 94 had substantial flooding this afternoon, reaching 30 feet wide in places and up to two feet deep, by some estimates..

Ronnie Durfee sent in video including this still shot of the dip between Rancho Jamul and Melody Lane.

“I would guess the water was between 18 and 24 inches,” he said.  “CHP was allowing cars to pass but I would not recommend it. Many were turning around and a couple had tried, but became disabled. It was no problem for my 4 x 4 truck.”

Power remains out for two homes due to the power pole accident, according to SDG&E.  Power restoration is expected to be restored by 11 p.m.
