Marin County weathers day 3 of high tide floods

High tide flooding continues to impact the Bay Area for the third straight day. Sky Fox was over Marin County this afternoon capturing stranded cars and people trying to walk and even bike through roads that were overrun by water. KTVU's Janet Katsuyama live tonight in Mill Valley. Janet, tide peaked around 1 o'clock this afternoon. It does look like that water has since receded behind you. It has. We're talking four hours of the water being covered with the roads. You can take a look behind me. We're on California 1 in Mill Valley. That road that goes underneath 101 is now back open, but there are still some cones and it is still wet. But they are now allowing full-on traffic going both up onto the ramp to Highway 101 and also coming down. But for many people around the area who had to deal with the floods, both near their homes and cars, many of them are just saying that they hope both cities and counties can look at some short-term and long-term solutions. Before 1 p.m. Wednesday, water began gushing into the street in Corte Madera. Construction crews rushed to move their equipment and trucks out of the way before the street flooded with saltwater. Along Golden Hind Passage, this homeowner said he was tired of the high tide flooding. Since then, we've had floods that have been up the driveway in June, July, August, and in October. That's why he and his wife decided to raise their house by four feet, a $200,000 to $300,000 job. The workers finished lifting the house by Tuesday morning, just hours before the high-tide floods began. Knowing El Nino is here, my wife and I figured the stress of floods is really unbearable, and so we're just biting the bullet and getting it lifted. It has to be solved. There has to be some kind of wall or berm put out here and fixed. City and Marin County officials worked Wednesday to block off flooded streets, And in some areas, police were issuing citations to those who disobeyed traffic blockades. The headaches after last January's severe flooding is prompting city and county officials to look at solutions to mitigate the damage. We're looking at deploying things like sandbag walls and muscle wall barriers, as well as an item called Tiger Dam, or there's different inflatable products that you can fill in with water and strapped down to the ground surface so that creates you know a temporary dam there's the regional water quality control board there's california fish and wildlife potentially u.s fish and wildlife in our backyard the Audubon owns property and they're very protective of that and so any big public project is decades certainly time and money factors there in mill valley sky fox 2 got video of a stranded flower delivery truck and a kayak that floated by it caught in the floodwaters near Shoreline. I spoke with the owner of Marin Flowers. He says that his wife had been just out on a delivery and got caught when those floodwaters came rushing in to the street. They are okay, but he said it's, you know, one of those things where it's very difficult that salt water can get onto those vehicles. So definitely people are recommending that you rinse off your car if you have gone through some of the floodwaters on the streets. Yeah, good advice. And we're learning incident after incident how to deal with this and certainly get prepared for what's to come all right thank you Jana, thanks Jana, busy
