“We’re seeing stronger storms as we go forward, and the predictions are that we are going to continue to see more intensity in the storms and wilder swings,”

So delighted to join Friends of Sausal Creek and I (Heart) Oakland-Alameda Estuary for a fun and informative nature walk through Jingletown to the water's edge in Oakland.
Well done, team and great time had by all - even in the rain!

Got some footage of the @kingtides.bsky.social overtopping the outer berm at Santa Venetia Marsh. There is a known population of @thesaltymouse.bsky.social here. Winter #KingTides are likely the deadliest time of the year for SMHM. Luckily the weather was pretty mild during these tides.

Cruised over the the entrance to the Eastern span of the SF Bay Bridge for #KingTide today. Right up to the Bus Entrance Road, with just the cement barrier in between.

A few high tide records were broken yesterday, with San Francisco recording its fourth-highest tide in 125 years of records and Monterey seeing its third-highest tide.
