The king tide was quite high, but there weren't any compounding factors like westerly winds, high Sacramento River flow, or local rainfall. Closing a flood prone road for 3 hours 6 days a year turns into closing for spring tides and then "oh crap our infrastructure isn't designed for this".

My grand unifying theory of politics is, "The winner of the presidential general election is the candidate who would win a race for Prom King." It works for every election in the last 50+ years except for 2020, when there was a defining issue that people actually voted on.
