It first crested to a preliminary level of 5.86 ft around midnight 10/12. A second crest occurred to a preliminary level of 7.26 ft on 10/14 around 1300 MST. This set a new record, beating the previous crest record of 6.4 ft which was set back on 9/6/1970. Most issues were adjacent to the 151 corridor north of Arboles where numerous drives were under water, one garage had some water in it. Forest Service Rd 613 did have some inundation but most bridges had several feet of clearance. USFS 613 which is parallel to the river did have water in some areas.

Mohave, Arizona · Flash Flood · Oct 12, 06:30 UTC

The San Juan River reached a second crest to major flood stage that was even higher than the first in response to additional significant rainfall and locally heavier rates on October 13. This heavy rainfall was due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Raymond on top of already saturated ground from the previous surge from Tropical Storm Priscilla. The San Juan River climbed back to action stage on October 13 at 1300 MST at 9.48 feet. The second crest reached major flood stage on October 14 at 300 MST at 12.88 feet. The San Juan River then fell below action stage on October 15 at 700 MST.

A best track is the record a warning agency settles on after the storm, not what it said at the time: position, maximum sustained wind and central pressure every six hours, revised against every observation that came in later. Category is the Saffir-Simpson scale, which runs from Category 1 at 64 kt to Category 5 at 137 kt and reads wind only, so it says nothing about surge or rain. Accumulated cyclone energy adds up the square of the wind through the storm's life, so it counts strength and duration together.
