Location: Lakeside RV Park & Stockstill Park - Branson, MO
This video was shot in Branson, Missouri on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 between 5pm and 6pm Central Time. Opening sequence was shot at Lakeside RV Park (aka: Branson City Campground) located just south of the Branson Landing (where the Business 65 bridge crosses over Lake Taneycomo). As you can see, Lake Taneycomo has risen over its banks and spilled into the small flood plain where this campground is located.
Next sequence was shot at Stockstill Park. The raging torrent is the normally-docile Roark Creek. If you look closely, you can see that Roark Creek has also spilled over its northern banks (opposite bank from where I shot this) and is flooding a small portion of the park near one of the baseball fields.
According to National Weather Service Radar estimates, Branson and surrounding areas have received between 6 to 10 inches of rain in the past 24 hours.
