More flooding on 2nd day of CA ‘king tides’ — Pedestrians cannot resist getting close to Thursday's king's tide cresting along the San Francisco Embarcadero on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012. The tide measured 7.2 at the Golden Gate and was the highest of the year. The king tides are expected to peak during the next several days, with surges over 9 feet in some areas. The phenomenon is caused by a unique alignment of the sun, moon and earth. (AP Photo/Bay Area News Group, Karl Mondon) MAGS OUT; NO SALES | Karl Mondon
