Video taking off 16x its usual first day

Winter flooding could reach rarely affected Bay Area neighborhoods

Zoe Mintz's KPIX report draws an unusually fast audience, with viewers asking about waterfront housing and the reports behind the warning.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 38,735 views a day, 16 times a normal first day on this channel (2,378).

These rarely affected Bay Area regions could see flooding this winter

The concern reaches beyond the usual flood zones. Zoe Mintz's KPIX report, "These rarely affected Bay Area regions could see flooding this winter," looks ahead to a risk that could matter to residents who seldom have to think about it.

The report drew more than 21,000 views in its first nine hours, already far beyond the few thousand a regular KPIX upload usually receives over a full first day. Its comment section is also busier than the channel's usual first-day discussion.

Among the practical questions beneath the video: what higher water could mean for waterfront apartments in Emeryville, and where to find the Bay Conservation and Development Commission reports referenced in the coverage. Those are viewers' questions, not confirmation that particular buildings will flood.

KPIX's weather coverage is working on two different horizons. Darren Peck's separate forecast discusses a gradual Bay Area warm-up this week; Mintz's report asks residents to look further ahead, toward winter and places less accustomed to flooding.
