Super moon 'trifecta' causes intense flooding leaving roads submerged as terrified residents scramble to protect their homes
2026-01-05
[DM] Flooding in San Francisco has left residents scrambling to keep their homes safe, as roads have become fully submerged following a super moon 'trifecta.'

Heavy winds and high tides swept through the Bay Area on Saturday, with the tide peaking at 2.5 feet higher than usual at around 10.30am.

One resident, 36-year-old Julia Pfahl, told the San Francisco Chronicle that she had arrived at work only to discover the shop was flooded by four inches of water.

'It’s the worst I’ve ever seen it,' she said. 'Everyone is in a panic, no one knows how to drive in it.

'I saw a car by the Holiday Inn with water up to its windows. Did you really think you could drive through that?'

A flood warning was issued across the Bay Area and the Central Coast until 2pm on Sunday, with advisories for San Francisco and San Pablo bays extended until 3pm on Monday.

The high waters submerged streets, including parts of Interstate 80 which saw water levels two feet deep.

Photos of the area saw homes and cars underwater, as well as desperate residents kayaking through the high waters.
