High water is bad.

Last night at the first boss in ZA I had to leave because the mobile home park my dad works at was getting flooded and he needed help emptying some of the apartments of the appliances.

We have had some heavy rains here in the Ozarks as of late and the dams that feed the Lakes of the old White River where getting full. At 12 pm on 4-10-08 they opened the flood gates at Table Rock lake to full and informed people down stream that the Lake Tanyecomo would be rising at least 4 feet.

Then last night at 830pm my dad was informed that they were opening more flood gates, which in turn would put more water in the park. So his boss and coworkers had to empty out more apartments and help the other residents attempt to get as much as they could before the water was too high to wade through.

We was moving peoples stuff up until 1am on 4-11-08. When I left the owner of the park was on his back-hoe tractor having people put things from the building that was already in water in the bucket of the tractor.

This morning I woke up and walked out on my front proch to see Scotty’s boat dock in front of my house. It normally is about 350 yards to the south of its current position. Apparently the stress of the fast moving water and the current level of the lake cause the archors to break/pull loose.
