# Larkspur king tides and high water in 2009

> In 2009, NOAA's San Francisco tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Larkspur road at risk on 59 days. The highest was 7.42 ft on Monday, June 22, 2009, 0.35 ft above the tide tables, with 31 roads at risk, including Casa Buena Drive, Sanford Street and Fifer Avenue.

**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.
