Flooding in parts of Marin County, coastal flood advisory in effect for Bay Area

A station wagon needed rescuing. Near the Highway 101 overpass by Marin City, KPIX's helicopter captured a tow truck winching the partially submerged car out of floodwater while a cyclist carried a bike nearby.

Elsewhere in the footage, someone navigated the submerged roadway by kayak. Monday's tidal flooding closed roads in southern Marin County, across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, turning a traffic alert into a striking view of water covering familiar routes.

The KPIX | CBS NEWS BAY AREA report drew about 47,000 views in its first six hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for short uploads. The scenes give a concrete follow-up to the Bay Area high-tide warnings we reported here earlier this month.

Meteorologist Jessica Burch describes flooding extending beyond isolated ponding into low-lying areas. The report says a coastal flood advisory remains in effect through Thursday, and relays Mill Valley police's advice to avoid Miller Avenue.
