Southern Marin County communities have been flooded for six consecutive days. A National Weather Service Coastal Flood Advisory issued November 1 warned of up to 1.5 feet of inundation above ground in North Bay low-lying areas. Mark Merrifield warned that this season could bring likely the highest sea levels ever recorded on the California coast. Daily high-tide flooding has closed or repeatedly inundated more than a dozen roads across southern Marin County since October 27, including areas in Mill Valley and Corte Madera.
