Table Rock Dam

Yesterday we got to see history made here in Branson as they opened up all the flood gates at the Table rock Dam. They opened up all the flood gates due to the flooding we have had in the last 48 hours. The mighty white river roars through the flood gates at the record-setting pace of 34,000 cubic feet per second. The previous record was set in 1961 at 31,000 cubic feet per second.

They had to evacuate several homes and have opened shelters. We are above the flooded area so we are fine.
