# Greenbrae king tides and high water in 1997

> In 1997, NOAA's San Francisco tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Greenbrae road at risk on 37 days. The highest was 7.70 ft on Thursday, November 13, 1997, 1.01 ft above the tide tables, with 28 roads at risk, including Fifer Avenue, Lucky Drive and Redwood Highway.

**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.
