CORTE MADERA, Calif. (KGO) — In the North Bay, it’s been another stressful day for residents in Marin County, where heavy rain and King Tides are bringing more flood fears. A North Bay Congressman and local leaders toured hard hit areas, vowing support to homeowners and businesses.<\/p>\n

A big problem for Marla Fibish’s home, where 8 inches of floodwater poured through the house over the weekend.<\/p>\n

“That’s our deepest corner, we’re still running the pump intermittently,” said Marla Fibish. “It’s been insane. It’s been nothing I’ve ever experienced before.”<\/p>\n

The rising water – coming from this lagoon – were brought on by record King Tides and storm surge.<\/p>\n

“There was so much water in the lagoon, they couldn’t pump it out fast enough,” said Fibish.<\/p>\n

Monday brought a fourth day of flooding to Marin. Highway 101 on and off ramps, closed at Lucky Drive in Corte Madera.<\/p>\n

North Bay Congressman Jared Huffman toured areas impacted by the high tides, like San Rafael’s Santa Venetia neighborhood, where a levee needed emergency repairs after a breech Saturday. County officials have a plan to fix it but need $18 million in federal funding, canceled last year by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

“This is not sustainable in the long term, with a levee like this especially with these tides all the volatility with our weather, we’re not going to give up on funding for a long-term solution,” said Rep. Huffman.<\/p>\n

Huffman also stopping a businesses impacted by flooding, like Marin’s SF Fitness where staff fought to keep water out.<\/p>\n

“No equipment damage because of how prepared we were, enough to prevent a catastrophic event,” said Ryan Davis, general manager of fitness at SF Marin.<\/p>\n

King Tides brought high water to Highway 101 on Saturday on causing one car to float away.<\/p>\n

“We had extra pumps running, but tides were elevated, not effective matter of time,” said Larkspur Mayor Stephanie Andre.<\/p>\n

Some neighbors say they didn’t get an alert or warning about the extreme high tides local leaders say, better communication is needed.<\/p>\n

“What we’re learning from this, we need to increase our ability to reach people an warn them,” says Corte Madera Mayor Rosa Thomas.<\/p>\n
