High tides flood Sausalito roads, strand pedestrians as scientists warn of more coastal flooding
Several streets and an off-ramp from Highway 101 were closed for much of the day as rising water inundated low-lying areas near the Sausalito waterfront. High tides flooded streets and a popular bike path in southern Marin County, causing road closures, stranding bicyclists, and causing pedestrians to be stranded. Several streets and an off-ramp from Highway 101 were closed for much of the day as rising water inundated low-lying areas near the Sausalito waterfront. The elevated water levels are linked to El Niño conditions and ocean disturbances known as Kelvin waves, which can move large amounts of warm water and increase the risk of flooding during unusually high tides. While the tide had receded significantly, scientists believe this could be an early warning of more significant coastal impacts this winter. The flooding has been a reminder to complete overdue repairs before winter.
