湾区大潮持续淹路：海岸洪水警示延至11月1日晚、马林县备约4.5万个沙袋
加利福尼亚州马林县米尔谷市消息：湾区大潮持续冲击沿海地区，美国国家气象局已把海岸洪水警示延长至11月1日。警示覆盖从圣罗莎到蒙特雷的加州海岸，圣帕布洛湾、旧金山湾和蒙特雷湾一带的洪水预计持续至11月1日晚6时，低洼地带近岸与潮汐水道附近的积水可达地面以上1.9英尺。气象部门警告，民众不要绕过路障，也不要驾车穿越深浅不明的水域。
马林县因地处太平洋与旧金山湾之间，是最易受洪水影响的县之一，当地公共工程部门表示，目标是在未来几周准备约4.5万个沙袋。11月1日将是该地区至少连续第7天出现大潮洪水，航拍画面显示多条道路和后院被淹，洪水甚至部分淹没了一块橄榄球场。
报道指出，异常偏强的厄尔尼诺导致海平面升高，与冬季风暴潮叠加，加重了洪水。10月29日米尔谷已有道路在涨潮时被淹，居民表示这是他们经历过的最严重的洪水之一。

Bay Area King Tides Keep Flooding Roads as Coastal Advisory Runs Through Sunday Evening in Marin County
Mill Valley, Marin County, California — King tides continued to hit the Bay Area coast, and the National Weather Service extended its coastal flood advisory through November 1. The advisory covers the California coast from Santa Rosa to Monterey, with flooding around San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay expected to last until 6 p.m. on November 1; water in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways could reach 1.9 feet above ground level. The weather service warned people not to drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
Marin County, sitting between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, is among the counties most prone to this flooding, and its public works department said the goal is to have roughly 45,000 sandbags ready over the coming weeks. November 1 would be at least the seventh straight day of high-tide flooding in the region; aerial footage showed flooded roads and backyards, with water partially submerging a football field.
Reports attributed the severity in part to a stronger-than-usual El Niño raising sea levels on top of winter storm surge. Roads in Mill Valley were already flooded at high tide on October 29, and residents called it among the worst flooding they had experienced.
