6:00Now PlayingKing Tides in Marin County
King tides combined with atmospheric river storms have created unprecedented flooding across Marin County, shutting down major sections of Highway 101 with two to three feet of water covering the northbound and southbound lanes. The Lucky Drive exit near Corte Madera and Larkspur has become completely impassable, with the entire freeway grinding to a halt. Multiple exit ramps throughout southern Marin County have closed due to flooding, with gas stations submerged under three feet of water. Highway 101 flooding has become an annual occurrence in this low-elevation section near the Larkspur Ferry Landing, but the combination of king tides and recent atmospheric river rainfall has made conditions particularly severe.
The San Francisco Bay tidal cycles bring massive amounts of water through the waterways connected to the Golden Gate Bridge, and when high tides occur twice daily during king tide events, the flooding intensifies regardless of current rainfall. Climate patterns show these king tides happen primarily during winter months, creating transportation chaos throughout Marin County communities from San Rafael to Corte Madera. The situation demonstrates how coastal areas face increasing vulnerability to tidal flooding, with nothing to prevent the water from rising during these predictable yet powerful natural events. Southern Marin County residents have experienced disrupted travel, closed freeway access, and widespread flooding affecting daily life and commerce throughout the Bay Area.
