Periods of heavy rainfall occurred over the Nueces River watershed between May 11th and 16th. This led to major flooding on the Nueces River that continued downstream through the end of the month. Flooding affected the Cotulla area on May 22nd. With the amount of water moving toward Lake Corpus Christi, releases were increased to accommodate the incoming water. This led to major flooding downstream from the dam. This affected homes in the Calallen area from May 19th until the end of the month.
