• S.F. just set a new October high tide record — by a wide margin (newsbreak.com) — Exceptionally high tides on Saturday flooded the northbound Highway 101 off-ramp and a Park and Ride in Mill Valley, briefly trapping at least one vehicle and disrupting local traffic. The surge, driven by El Niño and long-term sea level rise, set a new October tide record in San Francisco and triggered coastal flood advisories that could foreshadow more severe king tides this winter.
   

• Interview: Beth de Araújo and Mason Reeves on Their Working Relationship and the Hurdles of Shooting 'Josephine' (awardswatch.com) — Mill Valley takes a starring role as the setting for an in-depth interview with filmmaker Beth de Araújo during the 49th Mill Valley Film Festival, where she received two awards for her film "Josephine."
