The storm made landfall Tuesday morning at Padre Island near Corpus Tuesday, causing flooding in parts of the city and surrounding area. The storm also knocked out power all around Corpus Christi Bay and as far inland as San Patricio and Falfurrias.
By afternoon, Harold had already delivered up to two inches of rain in many place along the Texas coast. As much as seven inches fell on Mustang Island.
