Welcome back to Fox Local.
I have a new picture to show you here before we get back
to that event as it looks like it's wrapping up in Oakland.
Take a look at your screen.
Such a familiar story for the third day in a row now.
At least Sky Fox has been over flooding in Marin County.
This is obviously a low lying part of Marin County.
We've seen this happening in Mill Valley for the past couple of days.
I think even going back to the weekend.
This is not the result of too much rain coming from the sky.
This is the result of high tides.
king tides pushing that water up where it usually does not reach.
Although when we talked with the
CHP about this localized flooding a few days ago,
I think it was the back half of last week,
actually. The Caltrans spokesperson actually,
it was, he said that we should expect flooding
for about the next week
or so in the areas that usually see flooding. And take a look at this.
I think when our helicopter SkyFox was over
on the other side of this white van, it looked like it was
a floral shop like a flower delivery perhaps
underway obviously two people on either side
of the van i don't know if there's still someone inside
and cue the canoe right our producer Sylvia
is at the controls here and this is something we
have seen every single time every day this week
we brought you a live picture from SkyFox we see people sort
of you know taking advantage of the
water getting out in it so we've seen canoes we've seen people
on stand-up paddle boards we have seen
people on bicycles. We saw someone on an e-bike yesterday.
So as we just sort of watch them
navigate the waters here,
you can tell the water is at least more than halfway up the wheels or
tires. You can see, I don't know if these guys are going to try to,
looks like they're going to try
to push the van. Wow. All right,
let's just go ahead and hang on this just for one quick minute.
I don't know that we'll get any sort of usable sound
from the helicopter, but this is just,
You know, again, for the third time this week, we see SkyFox
over high tides in Marin County, pushing the water up on streets.
We'll just sort of sit on this picture for a quick minute
and then we'll take another short break.
But wanted to bring this to you as soon as we got it in our newsroom.
