Cars drive along a street flooded with seawater during a King Tide in Mill Valley, Calf., on Dec. 5, 2025. The San Francisco Bay Area coast is experiencing some of the highest tides of the year, commonly referred to as King Tides. These naturally occurring phenomena are caused when gravitational forces of the sun, moon, and Earth align, and can push water into low-lying streets and other vulnerable areas, producing localized flooding.
