South of Where Romerica wants to build high rises and a marina for 640 40-boats,, Hurricane Harvey deposited this giant island that virtually blocks the West Fork of the San Jacinto River. Dredgers nicknamed this area Sand Island. It was six feet tall and backed water up into River Grove Park six times in the last year. The island has since been removed by the Army Corps.
