3:07The National Weather Service warns motorists not to drive around barricades or through standing water.

Cars negotiate water-covered intersections while nearby parking lots sit submerged. KPIX's helicopter footage shows how far tidal flooding has reached around Shoreline Highway and US-101 in southern Marin County, including approaches to the freeway itself.

The National Weather Service has extended the coastal flood advisory through Friday afternoon. In the report, the anchor says exceptionally high tides are affecting low-lying areas around Mill Valley and Richardson Bay, with water reaching commercial buildings.

The aerial broadcast drew roughly 35,000 views in its first nine hours, already far beyond the audience a regular KPIX upload usually draws in a full first day. The station also posted a separate report on the flooding's second day.

From above, the camera follows vehicles making their way through submerged ramps and intersections. The report closes with the Weather Service's warning against treating those stretches as passable roads: "Don't drive around the barricades or through water. You don't know how deep the water is going to be."
