Overview
- Crews are sustaining temporary repairs and round-the-clock pumping in Larkspur Marina and Santa Venetia as the county tallies damage.
- County officials report the 75-year-old Santa Venetia berm suffered seepage, overtopping and a partial collapse that prompted emergency sandbagging.
- The National Weather Service says the storm was stronger than expected, with winds driving storm surge into the Bay and high tides and rain blocking drainage.
- Flooding swamped homes and businesses, stranded vehicles, and forced closures on Highway 101, and officials said Marin General Hospital was unreachable at times.
- Local leaders warn paused federal mitigation grants complicate long-term financing even as scientists say king tides offer a preview of higher seas and more frequent flooding.
