# Corte Madera king tides and high water in 2002

> In 2002, NOAA's San Francisco tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Corte Madera road at risk on 55 days. The highest was 7.46 ft on Thursday, December 19, 2002, 1.19 ft above the tide tables, with 77 roads at risk, including Redwood Highway, Casa Buena Drive and Yolo Street.

**Estimates, not records of actual flooding.** Each day is NOAA's verified high water at the tide gauge, run through FloodRoute's flood model on today's roads and elevations, in dry weather. Drains, levees, tide gates, rain, road changes and elevation error all mean real conditions differed. Not for property, real-estate, insurance, lending, engineering or legal decisions.
