Branson Landing Flooded After Weekend of Heavy Rain

The Branson Landing shopping boulevard in Branson, Missouri, was flooded on April 30 after a weekend of heavy rain.

This drone footage shows the area from above, as the boardwalk area is flooded due to runoff from nearby Lake Taneycomo. Fox 4 Kansas City reported that water from the lake was 10 feet higher than normal and spilled over the boulevard’s barrier walls, warranting sections of the shopping center’s parking lot to be blocked off.


The Table Rock Dam, which controls the flow of water from Table Rock Lake to Lake Taneycomo, were opened on April 30 to keep runoff from flooding further, Fox 4 reported. Credit: Kevin Lighty via Storyful
