I'm trying to remember the timeline of the '82 flood. I was a senior at MC, and, if I'm not mistaken, I remember I got to school somehow that morning, only to find that school was cancelled because the flooding was starting in other parts of the county. I started walking home, and got a ride, and I remember it just pouring like a monsoon all day. I can't remember what time of day the Ross Valley flooding happened, if it was that day, or the next morning.

I do remember the day after the flood, i rode my bike from the creek at Baltimore Canyon, down Magnolia to College of Marin. Down by Bon Air, I there were cars that were upside down.

Those are great. I drove around in a raised up four wheel drive (without camera)
and remember going everywhere.
The trick was trying to remember where obstacles were (hidden underwater)
It also would be a couple feet deeper on one side of a street vs the other and since I could use the whole road that helped.
Speaking of obstacles, Lots of people tried to make a u-turn on Miller Ave in MV accross from Safeway forgetting the cement culvert that runs down the center divider, and that ended the u-turn in a hurry.

I like the "Closed for Remodeling" sign on A&W in the pic. I wonder how far they got when the water came. It might have worked out well for them.

Here's 2nd and Lindaro in San Rafael during the same 1982 flood. (also 3rd and Grand)
