FloodRoute vs Commute Flow

AS FEATURED IN THE ARK NEWS (Jan 28, 2026) in Tiburon, CA, FloodRoute shows which roads may flood during high tides, before you drive into trouble. Using NOAA tide data, OpenWeatherMap barometric pressure, Open-Meteo rainfall data, road elevation mapping, FEMA flood zone data, historical news records, and crowdsourced user-submitted verifications, FloodRoute provides realtime estimations of flood-prone streets -- and "what if" scenarios -- so you can plan safer routes in coastal communities. AVAILABLE IN 6 REGIONS: • Boston, MA • Marin County, CA • Miami, FL • New York City, NY • San Francisco, CA • Tampa, FL My first iOS app, FloodRoute was inspired by Nextdoor neighbors in my home of Marin County.
