Just 3 inches of sea level rise can throw off tide predictions and exacerbate flooding--something we just experienced with the #KingTides.

A series of back-to-back storms, combined with exceptionally high tides, led to flooding along many low-lying areas of the Bay Area over the weekend. Ken Der shares scenes from around Alameda and Bay Farm Island, and takes a look at local plans for sea level rise adaptation. https://alamedapost.com/news/weekend-flooding-offers-glimpse-future/

Record-breaking King Tides flood San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California coast, U.S.

Tide gauges across the region recorded water levels up to 0.76 m (2.5 feet) above normal, breaking multiple records and prompting road closures, flood warnings, and emergency advisories. #weather #kingtides #SFBA #CAwx

so the king tide, rain and wind was pretty bad yesterday at my local access to 101 and the highway was flooded. #ClimateCrisis note the amount of people trying to drive through it. (sorry there’s an ad at the start) https://abc7news.com/videoClip/18348724/

Live storm updates: North Bay freeway, business flooded following storm

The Bay Area is recovering after a Level 2 storm brought rain and gusty winds to the area Friday night.

Rain and king tides continue to flood Bay Area communities

Meteorologists said this week’s king tides are being amplified by a supermoon and the alignment of the sun, Earth, and moon, which creates a strong gravitational pull and leads to higher-than-normal tide levels.
