Wappapello Lake, Missouri - May 7th 2011
My aunts & I took a bus ride across the dam to see damage done by flood waters that wiped out T Hwy.
The lake crested in 1945 at 399.09 & crested at 400.02 in 2011 -
Water had gone down by the time we were there that day.
Street light at the boat dock at Redman Creek! =0
Be Careful!
Be Careful!

Oh my goodness Tricia...My mouth is hanging open looking at these. It's so hard to imagine what all that the flood water has done.
No matter what we do, water is going to reclaim it's territory. Stay safe, Tricia!
Wow--that goes to show just how powerful flooding/water can be... That is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing, Tricia.

Wow - that is incredible! It's hard to even comprehend that much water.

Great photos, Tricia! They show what the power of water can be!

We got our floods in January.
Wow - now THAT's a lot of water ! And a lot of power. Nice to see your sense of humor is intact with the shot of the safe boating sign !

That is something else! So much water and damage.
I caught some of the footage of the flooding via CNN, its terrible. Take care.
A fine series documenting this disaster around the lake. Fine highly detailed shot with very good viewpoints add to your post's captivating quality. Very well done.
Good coverage of the flooding. It's amazing the flood damage that is happening all the way down the Mississippi.
Wow! That is certainly a lot of water, one very big flood! Just proves that mother nature is indeed the most dangerous thing on the planet.
A fine series showing the damage and awesome power of a raging flood. It's amazing how much highway and earth the water and move...and quickly. An extra fine action series.
I enjoyed seeing this post again, Tricia... That destruction really shows how dangerous flooding can be. Yipes!!!

It's easy to underestimate the power of water. Hopefully the water will never get that high again.
Your photos are very interesting. What an awesome force! I assume the street light is for SCUBA divers?
