# Greenbrae king tides and high water in 1998

> In 1998, 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 8.38 ft on Friday, February 6, 1998, 2.21 ft above the tide tables, with 47 roads at risk, including Irwin Street, Fifer Avenue and Lucky Drive.

**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.
