Well, when we moved into our friend's rental house we never thought we would be dealing with possibly flooding but here we are 16 inches of rain later and a dam that is open and going full force and I found myself receiving a phone call from the police that they were knocking on our door and telling us to evacuate. EVACUATE! What do you take with you when you your road is already closed and you are entering and exiting through a small access road on a hill? Not much....we packed necessities. Overnight bags for each of us in case we need to stay somewhere for a while. Memorabilia......pictures, cds of pictures and videos, photo albums, a few things my mom gave me, mom's rings and jewelry. As I looked around our living room, I realized it is all just stuff. We don't need to frantically pack, my treasure's our truly in heaven and in my heart and memory. So even though we are praying they are wrong and we do not need to evacuate I know that everything will be okay because I know my maker is in control. Below are a few pictures of our area and the crazy flood. Please say a prayer not just for us but for ALL Branson and Hollister residents who are being effected by the flooding.
This picture is of the house across from the lake from us. The water is about mid-way high....they were evacuated a day ago.
This picture is of North Beach Park, down by the Landing. We use to walk in this park all the time.
This is a picture of the Landing, that restaurant used to be on the lake not in the lake.
Branson Landing view!
I can't even imagine if I lived here.
This family was waiting for the dad to get back from going to get their pets out of the house.
Picture of Table Rock Dam, it is flowing strong.
