Assistant city manager Mark Van Vleck told the Corpus Christi City Council to expect 4-5 more days of flooding along the Nueces River.


That flooding began last week when authorities opened three flood gates and the Wesley Seale Dam at Lake Corpus Christi to release water.

Van Vleck said two flood gates are currently open and they're expected to remain that way for a few more days.

With Lake Corpus Christi at capacity, any additional water that flows into the reservoir will need to be released immediately. If that happens, the flooding could get worse than what we're seeing now.
