Evidence of and comments on flooding in Mill Valley, California, localized in the Tamalpais Park Neighborhood. This site was inspired by the flood of December 31st, 2005, but it should be noted that as of February 2011, no similarly massive floods have occurred!

New flood videos
Please visit the TPNA Photo Archive link, under links on the right, there are new videos with subtitles that illustrate the locations that were the hardest hit by the flooding from the Arroyo Corte Madera Creek and Warner Creek, in Mill Valley, December 31st, 2005. I have additional footage that I'll post as I find time to clip, size and format it.

Flood Mitigation for all of the Sycamore triangle neighborhoods
Yesterday (April 9th, 2006 ) I attended one of the foundational meetings of a new group effort to support the property owners whose homes and businesses reside in the geographic area known by the Mill Valley City Counsil as the Sycamore Triangle, part of the larger County of Marin District #3 Flood Control Zone. Part of the purpose of the group is to learn about the many different government bodies, rules, regulations, issues, and private interest groups (environmental, cultural, etc.) who have a say or want to participate in the management of waterways that bring flood waters to our neighborhoods.
I'm trying to track down official references to the phrase "Sycamore Triangle" to determine if it has official meaning assigned by a study or a tract of land, or if it merely has been coined to represenet the neighborhoods formed by the three intersections: (1) East Blithedale Ave. & Camino ALto Ave., (2) Camino ALto Ave. & Miller Ave. and (3) Miller Ave. & East Blithedale Ave. (via Millwood Ave.). To be truthful Miller Ave. and East Blithedale never actually intersect, they are joined by Throckmorton Ave. in downtown Mill Valley, where after Miller terminates and East Blithedale becomes West Blitedale Ave.
