Hundreds of homes and businesses in Marin County were impacted by significant weekend flooding as a large storm and record-high tides combined to inundate coastal communities, local officials said Monday. … Local officials said the incident illustrated the importance of long-term resilience and flood-prevention projects as climate change intensifies storms and sea levels rise. For example, a levee built in the 1980s was breached by floodwater on Saturday, requiring emergency repairs. Marin County Supervisor Mary Sackett said the county has a plan to replace it, but is still seeking funding for construction.
