CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Flooding because of the rain is not a foreign issue to many Flour Bluff residents. Many of them experience it several times within a month.
Douglas LeStourgeon lives on Tulane Drive with what looks to be a huge lake in his front yard, but is really a ditch that overflows. He said the poor drainage system in his neighborhood is causing water to be pushed towards his house by passing cars.
