Interesting to see the work on the old Taneycomo Bridge. I've never seen the bridge so torn up. The decking completely gone in sections. Funny too that the new bridge is so much lower to the water! Not good in high water like pictured.

It does look all torn up, drove by there a couple of weeks ago.. And now the water look REAL close to the new bridge...

OK, this last video of Kimberling Bridge is even more scary than dad driving the family through the water...as the one filming is also driving...that's gotta be worse than using a cell phone while driving. People are pretty d---ed stupid.

Makes you think about driving doesnt it?

Scary? I agree...If you look closely, you can see that the windshield is cracked and the passenger side mirror is missing. Wonder what could've happened there.

Ok sundunerider....I was wrong. Another 1/4" of rain over the next few days my foot! We are in it again, pouring rain right after we talked. The Landing is open but mainly shops; Old Chicago doing the grill with hot dogs, sandwhiches, hamburgers, salads and the bar is open. Other restaurants same light menu or Health Dept will shut down. White River Restaurant along with the others that are on the water side may not open for awhile longer now. Rain supposed to subside on Tues, but showing again on the weekend. Branson is pretty much at a crawl, lots of cancellations due to weather which is understandable. The lakes are still open and fishing is great so I'm told! They are having a town meeting tomorrow to discuss the flooding issues and measures being taken. We will see what happens from that. $:-\$

Simple idea: Place a special collection receptacle at the entrance to the Flooded Mine to aid flood victims in the local area.

MissinTheGreenTrams · May 05, 2011, 10:55:04 AM

I was thinkin how flooded did the flooded mine get over the rain storm.......nerd I know. But great donation idea!

sanddunerider · May 05, 2011, 01:39:17 PM

That IS a great idea to raise funds for the local people, But i dont think you will see it happen.
