Rockport city officials have issued a mandatory evacuation effective 3 p.m. today. City Hall will close and city services will cease Thursday, Mayor Todd Pearson said. "We want residents to leave as soon as they possibly can," he said. "We want to discourage anyone staying behind since we won't have police to force them out." The city has made arrangements with the Council for the Aging to identify people without transportation. Those without transportation will be bused to Live Oak Elementary after 6 p.m. today.
Rockport is a town just up the coastline from Corpus Christi.
