I've heard of some very high water and flooding at Table Rock lake in Branson. Does anyone have any reports or pictures?

Hope everyone is OK down there. We love that lake!!!

Current report actually shows it 3.5' below normal. I'm not sure how though, given the amount of rain they've had down there. I did see on the news they've opened the gates, causing concern for people down river.

TableRock Lake went to 935.5' (normal pool is 915.0' flood occurs over 931.0' 2008 flooding reached 928') over Easter weekend. The area had 12" of rain over the weekend. The Dam was opened and was discharging at 68000 Cubic feet per sec for most of last week until today. There are a lot of boat docks floating free and tied to trees as their mooring lines have been severed as a result of the high water. No one can get to their boats as the slips are 75' to 100' out in the lake on the other side of the trees. The discharge of water from the lake has Taneycomo at flood stage and Branson Landing was mostly flooded. The Main street is ok but the river walk and water show area is under water. The Corps of Engineers is telling all to stay off the Lake till the water goes down significantly. I have two boats in a dock there so I do know all about it. Wnenn

Funny you just posted that, I had *just* gone and checked the CoE site because I couldn't believe the level was below normal pool. Turns out they changed the URL of the report at the end of March, yet the last report is still there at the old address - so if you don't pay attention to the date of the report, it's misleading.

So TR is now nearly 20' high, and another good sized band of rain is moving through as I type this... one more thing that may point to this becoming a non-boating summer for us. Hope your boats & dock end up OK!

And, it looks like yet another full day of rain there. Unreal.

The Hwy 13 bridge at Kimberling City. Normally the road bed is WAY up off the water.

This is as bad as the 2008 flood it seems. To get a perspective on depth there, check out the photo of the bridge after construction before the lake filled. Scroll down a ways to see sonar of the remaining end of the original bridge, still down there.

I feel for the folks down there. We are relatively lucking out here. It's been "really bad" to the North and "really bad" to the South, but somehow it's only been "bad" here. It probably has to do with all the significant floods over the last 20 years, it now takes setting a new record to get anyone excited.

But I feel worse for the folks on the other side of Missouri. I still can't believe the CofE sacrificed all that land to stave off a "potential" threat across the river. Going through a natural disaster is one thing, but having the government purposely blow a levee is a whole other ballgame. That would really tick me off it is was my land. Plus, I would love to see the numbers on which disaster is worse; flooding a town of 3,000 people or flooding 150,000 acres of farmland. I'm sure it's not that simple, but since that's story government officials painted, that's what I would like to see the math on.

Thanks for the links Mike.

We were there on the down side of the flood in 2008.
I can't believe the board walk and Bass Pro Shop are under water. wow.

You tow the 261 down there? That'd be the coolest thing on that whole lake.

That is where I bought it from. No, we have not made it there with this boat. Want to real bad though.

I've been keeping an eye on this.

I have a lot of family in the Branson area. I'm concerned that one of my Aunt's houses may be underwater as they are just below the dam in the Hollister area. They also have a house on Table Rock...that one should be ok as it sits up a ways.

Here is a site with pictures:

Anyone in St. Louis. How are the Missouri and Mississippi doing in that area. Is the Chesterfield Valley in harms way yet?

Post subject:  Re: Table Rock Lake flooding
Chesterfield Valley is doing ok.....Water is high on the Mississippi and south to Memphis.....they are in trouble down there. The Corps is letting out water at TR at 1/3 foot per day.......it will be 40 days (with no rain) before most of the docks are accessible......
