Coastal residents in North Bay Interior Valleys and San Francisco Bay Shoreline are under a warning from the National Weather Service. The flood advisory, which came into effect on Tuesday morning, warns of potential flooding due to high tides expected throughout the week.

According to the NWS, areas near shorelines and tidal waterways could see up to 1.4 feet of inundation above ground level. High tide is predicted for Tuesday at 8:24 a.m. with 0.8 ft above normal levels, rising to 1.2 ft above normal by Wednesday morning. The highest anticipated high tide is expected on Thursday at 9:48 a.m. with 1.4 ft above normal levels.

Residents are advised to exercise caution and allow extra time for travel if they must venture out. Flooding of lots, parks, and roads is possible, but isolated road closures can be expected. The NWS warns against driving through water of unknown depth or around barricades, as this can pose a risk to life and property.

To prepare for the flood advisory, residents are encouraged to take steps to protect their homes. Sandbags can be obtained from local authorities in San Mateo County, Alameda County, and Santa Clara County. However, it is essential to use sandbags correctly and follow flood safety guidelines to minimize damage.

Weather alerts come in different forms, including flash flood warnings, flood warnings, flood advisories, and flood watches. A flash flood warning indicates that a sudden violent flood is imminent or occurring. Flood warnings signal that flooding is likely to occur. Flood advisories warn of potential flooding but do not pose an immediate threat. Flood watches indicate favorable conditions for flooding.

To stay safe during the flood advisory, residents are advised to seek higher ground if necessary, adhere to evacuation orders, disconnect utilities and appliances, avoid basements and submerged areas, and stay away from floodwaters.
 
I was in North Bay last year with my family and we experienced our first major flood. We were lucky to be prepared with sandbags and had to move some stuff upstairs 🌊😬. I remember the rush of water coming into our house and it was a chaotic scene. My kid thought it was like a movie, playing in the floodwaters while we were trying to secure everything. Anyway, the NWS is always right, and I'm glad they're keeping us informed about this flood advisory. We should all be prepared and take necessary precautions to avoid any damage or harm 💡💪.
 
omg you guys can't even walk outside in n Cal right now 🤯 i'm so glad they're warning people about the flood advisory... 1.4 feet of inundation is CRAZY! what if someone gets swept away by floodwaters? 🌊 gotta be super careful out there, especially if you need to drive or walk near shorelines. hope everyone stays safe! 💕
 
Ugh, another flood in Cali 😒. I mean, what's up with these high tides? Can't they just make them stop already? 🤦‍♂️ I was thinking of heading out to the bay this weekend but now I don't know if it's even worth it. The risk of flooding is just too real. I've seen people get stuck in their cars during floods and it's no joke. 💔

I guess the sandbags are a good idea, though? 🌀 I mean, if you're gonna venture out, make sure to grab one and follow the guidelines. Don't wanna be that person who gets caught in a flood because they didn't take precautions. 😅 And can we talk about how the NWS doesn't use a simple "FLOOD WARNING" instead of all these fancy names? It's just confusing 🤯.

Anyway, I'll be over here staying dry and cozy at home while everyone else deals with the flooding. 👍
 
you know what's crazy about these weather alerts? they're like a big life lesson in itself 🤯. think about it, we can prepare for the unexpected, just like how coastal residents are getting sandbags to protect their homes. but at the same time, we gotta remember that we're not always in control of our circumstances. there's only so much we can do to prevent flooding, and sometimes we just have to adapt and move forward 💨.

i mean, it's not just about staying safe during a flood advisory, it's also about being prepared for the unexpected in life. whether it's an emergency or just an unexpected twist, we gotta be able to roll with the punches and find ways to mitigate the damage 🌊. so yeah, i think this weather alert is a great reminder to stay vigilant and take care of ourselves, but also to trust that we can get through anything that comes our way 💪.
 
Ugh 🤯 just thinking about those high tides makes me wanna plan a beach day... err, not this week tho 😅. Coastal residents gotta be super careful, flooding can happen anywhere & it's not worth risking life & property. Using sandbags correctly is key, don't wanna make things worse if you know? 🤦‍♀️ And, like, always prioritize higher ground if you need to evacuate, no question. Those flood alerts are super important, gotta stay informed & safe! ⚠️
 
OMG, I'm still trying to finish my math homework before this crazy flood warning hits our school's coastline 🤯📚. It's so frustrating when the weather affects our daily life, especially when we have exams coming up. I hope everyone stays safe and doesn't get stuck in flooded areas 🌊😬. And yeah, I wish they'd give us more notice before a flood warning goes into effect, it's always better to be safe than sorry 💡. My friends are all worried about their homes and stuff, but we just have to keep our priorities straight and focus on our studies 📖💪.
 
🌊😬 this flood advisory is like a big fat warning sign for everyone living in those coastal areas... 1.4 feet of water above ground level is no joke, can imagine the mess it's gonna cause 🤯 I hope people are taking this seriously and not just thinking "oh it'll pass" because it won't 🙅‍♂️ sandbags might help but they gotta be used correctly or else it's like throwing money down a drain 💸
 
🌊 ugh I'm so worried about these floods in Northern Cali! The thought of 1.4 feet of water just above the ground level is crazy 🤯. I hope people are taking this seriously and preparing their homes properly with sandbags. It's also super important to be cautious when driving around flooded areas, don't wanna see anyone get hurt 😬. I guess it's always better to err on the side of caution during these types of warnings. Has anyone in these areas taken steps to protect themselves yet? 🤔
 
🌊💦 I'm so frustrated with the lack of preparedness in our coastal communities 🤯. These high tides are not just a natural occurrence, they're also a result of climate change, which is having a devastating impact on our environment 🌪️. It's crazy that we still have to be on high alert every time there's a flood advisory 🚨.

I mean, think about it - we live in an area prone to flooding and yet, most people are not equipped with the necessary tools to protect themselves or their homes 💸. Sandbags are just one solution, but what about those who can't afford them or don't know how to use them? 🤷‍♀️ It's a classic case of unequal distribution of resources, where some people have access to protection and others do not 🚫.

And let's not forget about the infrastructure - our roads, parks, and buildings are designed with flooding in mind, but still, we're seeing isolated road closures and damage to properties 🚧. It's like we're playing a game of whack-a-mole, where we fix one problem, only to see another one pop up 🤯.

We need to do better, folks! We need to invest in our communities, not just our homes, and take proactive steps to mitigate the effects of climate change 🌎.
 
I just got back from a hike in Big Sur 🏞️ and I'm still thinking about the ocean views... I mean, have you ever seen the way the light hits the water? It's like nature's own light show ☀️. Anyway, back to this flood advisory thing... what even is with high tides lately? I know some of my friends who live near the bay and they're always complaining about how the tides are affecting their homes 🤦‍♀️. And don't even get me started on sandbags – have you ever tried putting one in a corner? It's like trying to fold a giant triangle 😂. I'm just glad my friend's house has that fancy flood-proofing system... but then again, those things are pricey 💸.
 
Ugh 🙄, can't believe we're getting these floods again in the Bay Area! Like, isn't it something that our coastal residents have to deal with this every year? The NWS should really get their act together and provide better warnings for people who live in areas prone to flooding. I mean, 1.4 feet of water rising is still pretty scary 🌊. And don't even get me started on the sandbags situation - it's like they're just throwing people at the problem without a real plan. Can't they just invest in some proper flood defenses instead? 🤦‍♂️ Anyway, just hope everyone stays safe and doesn't lose their homes to the flooding 💔.
 
Omg u guys flooding is so bad 🌊😱 its like every year in north bay but this time its getting worse!! i was reading about how theyre doing sandbag drops like crazy and people are super prepared 🎉 but still got to be careful dont drive through flooded roads or anything lol 🚨 my cousin lives near the bay shoreline and shes so worried rn she's stockpiling water and snacks in case of an emergency 🤯 i feel her 😩
 
🌊😕 so like when is it gonna stop raining? i dont wanna be stuck at home all week 🤯 and what about the poor ppl who lost their homes cuz of floods last year? did they get any help? 🙏 and i saw on instagram that some ppl are already using sandbags to protect their cars lol, but isn't that like putting a bandaid on a broken wheel? 🚗💨
 
🌊 This coastal flood warning is really concerning... I mean, 1.4 feet of flooding above ground level can cause some serious damage to homes and property. The high tides this week are expected to be pretty rough, so residents need to be super careful and take precautions. 🚨 Like, if you have to venture out, just add an extra hour to your commute and stuff, 'cause the roads might get flooded. And don't even think about driving through water that's not clear... that's just asking for trouble! 😬 The good news is that sandbags are available from local authorities, but you gotta use them right or it won't help much. Just stay safe out there, and let's hope the weather clears up soon! 🌞
 
🌊 Ugh, these high tides are getting crazy! I live in San Francisco and I'm already seeing the water level rising by 6 inches overnight. It's so frustrating because you can't even walk on the beach without worrying about getting caught in a wave. And now they're saying there might be flooding all week? 🤯 I hope everyone is taking this seriously and staying safe. Sandbags are just not going to cut it against waves that high... we need some real solutions here! 💪
 
Ugh I'm so worried about these coastal towns 🌊😬 They're always preparing for the worst but it's like they don't even have a plan in place yet 🙄 The thought of all that water rushing in is just terrifying and I can imagine how helpless everyone must feel 🤕 Like what if the sandbags aren't enough or what if someone gets swept away by the floodwaters? 😨 It's not just about the homes, it's about the people too 💔 They're gonna have to stay indoors for days, away from their loved ones and everything they know and love 🏠💕 What's the point of even having a plan if it's just gonna get washed away by the floodwaters? 😩 I'm literally on edge thinking about this, can't sleep last night 🤯
 
🚨 The government is really slow in responding to natural disasters like this one. I mean, they should have set up sandbag stations and flood control measures months ago, not just now that it's flooding 🤦‍♂️. And what about the poor residents who can't afford sandbags on their own? It's like they're expecting them to be lucky enough to get hit by a storm and then magically figure out how to protect themselves 💸. We need better infrastructure and emergency preparedness plans in place, not just some last-minute warnings 🚨💥.
 
The weather in these Northern Cali spots is getting crazy 🌊! I mean, 1.4 feet of flooding? That's a lot for just high tides. We should all be keeping an eye on the forecast and taking precautions, like stocking up on sandbags and knowing our evacuation routes. It's not fun dealing with floodwaters, especially if you've got family or pets to look out for 🐶😺.
