Beryl passed Corpus Christi. Was there damage here?

Editor's note: This story has been updated to include a quote from city of Corpus Christi City Manager Peter Zanoni.

Despite initial predictions of serious threats posed to Corpus Christi, Hurricane Beryl brought little rain, winds and surge to the city.

An overview provided by municipal officials showed that as of 7 a.m. Monday, the storm had few to no impacts in Corpus Christi – including to areas well-known for major flooding, such as North Beach and Laguna Shores– and evaluations had been discontinued.

Still, a team “will remain on-call to conduct damage assessments if anything comes up that was not found or reported overnight,” the one-page document stated.

City services had also been planned to fully resume normal operations, while the emergency operations center was scheduled to be deactivated, according to officials.

Department staff "performed well in anticipation of Beryl," wrote City Manager Peter Zanoni in a message to the Caller-Times.

"We were preparing for a Category 3 event as it is our protocol to prepare for one level higher than the worst forecast," he wrote. "Fortunately, the storm did not negatively impact Corpus Christi, but our plans were in place to protect and inform the community had it struck us."

A tropical storm warning had been in place overnight, and meteorologists had warned of a limited potential for tornadoes.

However, winds did not exceed 44 miles per hour, and the highest rainfall measured one inch, according to the city’s overview document.

As of 4 a.m., a coastal flood advisory was in effect and anticipated to remain in place through Tuesday morning, with three feet of beach inundation expected, according to social media posts by the local office of the National Weather Service.

The area had previously at one point been under a storm surge warning.

A message from the local agency also noted that a small craft advisory was expected to be valid through Monday afternoon, featuring seas as high as 10 feet and winds projected to reach 34 knots, or nearly 40 mph.

The conditions are starkly different than what had initially been predicted prior to Beryl’s shift to the north and the east over recent days – at one point, models had shown the storm making landfall near Corpus Christi.

Instead, Beryl made landfall near Matagorda Bay, with the most dire threats descending on areas along the mid- and northeast Texas coastline.

Several events were postponed and businesses closed around the Coastal Bend area.

In Port Aransas, visitors – many of whom had made the trek to the beach for the long July 4 weekend – were ordered to evacuate by noon Sunday, under the order of Nueces County Judge Connie Scott.

Response by Corpus Christi residents showed little boarding of structures, and a rush on hardware and grocery stores did not appear to unfold in many parts of the city.

Sunday night, many gathered on the Michael J. Ellis seawall to watch the waves, and some of the more adventurous were drawn to the beach where Bob Hall Pier once existed, some with fishing poles.
