San Antonio, TX, July 30, 2026 —
Live Oak County is currently grappling with significant flooding along the Nueces River, leading to the closure of essential county roads and prompting concerns for residents in low-lying areas.
County Roads 436 and 438 have been closed due to the rising water levels, disrupting local traffic and access. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as the Nueces River is projected to crest near an elevation of 40 feet.
This projected crest poses a threat to homes situated within the floodplains that stretch from the Three Rivers area down to Lake Corpus Christi. Emergency officials are urging residents in these vulnerable zones to take necessary precautions.
For individuals who require assistance or a safe place to stay, a shelter has been established at George West Junior High School. The county is providing this resource to support those affected by the flooding.
Further updates on the river’s status and any changes to road closures will be provided by county officials as the situation develops.
