CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — One of those problematic areas we always see flooding at during rain events like this is North Beach, and Wednesday was no different.
Drivers pushed their way through the flood waters at Surfside and Coastal Avenue. It was just one of the many streets we found flooded even after the rain stopped.
North Beach resident Ruben Masquifelt said as soon as he stepped out of his house, the water was almost up to his knees.
"I had to walk slowly because my sandals were getting stuck in the mud, and I kept losing my sandals in the flood. Everybody coming through, they were driving very slowly, because water was getting in their door," said Masquifelt.
The flooding prompted at least one major road there to close which was North Shoreline Blvd near the USS Lexington.
