Ahhhh...that last video was tough to watch. Dad driving through the flooding water in the family vehicle, with the family! Well, at least it was NOT a case of "only the video survived."

I'd like to see a pic of the landslide at the dam if anyone has one. Haven't found any on any of the news stories. We were staying at the Wildernesst last weekend, and boy did it rain...and rain....and rain.

Of the 10 storm-related deaths in Arkansas the last two days, six of them were from flooding.

here are some pics, just posted on facebook...the first 2 is the kimberling city bridge, the last one is the bridge at beaver creek!

appears to me the water is as deep now, as it got in 2008!

Here is a picture of the bridge in Beaver, Arkansas for comparison.

That poor old bridge at Beaver, Arkansas...everytime there is a big flood, it gets hit hard! State officials thought about tearing it out a few years ago but local residents protested...it is quite the landmark. It is located about 25 minutes away from my home. It is located between Gateway and Eureka Springs, AR Stop by and see the big ole town of Beaver, AR someday, but don't expect big shows and bright lights. It is a quiet little town located on the banks of the White River, plenty of fishing...and one campground.

thanks for the added picture, that really helps the rest of us put it into perspective,

We were there at the Landing on Sunday. It wasn't as bad as these videos, but it was getting bad already. It was pouring down rain, and I think there were maybe about two dozen people in the whole landing excluding workers. Not a very popular place to be on Easter Sunday apparently. But, the lake water was up over the sidewalk below Famous Dave's. Pretty crazy to see. We didn't hang around long, but I could tell if it kept raining it wasn't going to be pretty. Thought some people might need to commandeer one of those boats in front of Bass Pro...

I am seriously thinking about going down this weekend. I want to see tablerock/taneycomo at that level..
