Larkspur Drivers Navigate Flooding

Rains and high tides flood local streets

Corte Madera Creek looked ready to overflow its banks — and it did in some places in Larkspur on Friday.

Larkspur's Public Works Department and the Ross Valley Sanitary District got calls about flooding in some neighborhoods, although there were no reports of homes in danger.

Residents at the Larkspur Marina neighborhood and Larkspur Plaza Drive both had to negotiate ponds in front of their homes.
