# Tam Junction 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 Tam Junction road at risk on 79 days. The highest was 7.70 ft on Thursday, November 13, 1997, 1.01 ft above the tide tables, with 36 roads at risk, including Cardinal Road, Starling Road and Flamingo Road.

**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.
