Flooding from Marie inundated the coast, leaving a mess for impacted residents.
Record tidal flooding that the Bay Area hasn't seen in 27 years was created by the perfect timing of a full moon as the sun, moon and Earth aligned, and an area of low pressure crossed Northern California.
These exceptionally high tides are often described as king tides and will be more common in the future due to sea level rise.
If you live around the San Francisco Bay, you're probably familiar with cement sea walls and sturdy levees. But, increasingly, a nature-based design is providing an alternative -- one with significant benefits in the face of sea level rise.
King tides are the reason behind a local coastal flood advisory through 2 p.m. on Monday.
King tides return to the Bay Area this week and ABC7 News Meteorologist Mike Nicco says they are really going to hit Marin County and make a splash along San Francisco's Embarcadero.
