That’s a ****ing nightmare. Imagine trying to find and save your children in that murky water.

Table Rock is an extremely clean lake but drowning in a 60MPH thunderstorm is not a death I would wish upon anyone.

I was playing golf tonight about 30 to 40 miles away. The storm didn’t “pop up”, but came in quick. I was almost caught on the course. Had no idea storms were even possible tonight. Very sad deal. Praying for the families.

There were wind gusts over 60 mph. Why would the operator have it out there?

Damn, I can't believe that don't make them wear a life jacket.
I'm in Springfield and the storm that rolled through here about 5 1/2 hours ago blew in hard and fast. I was looking out my window and everything was fine one minute and the next tree branches were getting blown down, trash dumpsters were sliding down the road, shit was getting horizontal. Power was out all over town. Just now got mine back on.

I'm not sure exactly where they put in at but I'm pretty sure it's in the bigger water area towards the damn.

Why didn’t they just hammer down to the closet shore?

From my understanding, the boat sank only a 100 yards away from shore and docks. The video going around that shows the boat fighting waves right before it goes under is from a woman seated on the Branson Belle that was docked at the time due to the storm. My guess is the captain was attempting to dock before the storm hit, but got caught up in it right before making it and turned around to fight the winds and waves versus attempting a hard landing at the docks. He likely never imagined the boat would capsize until those last few minutes and was pretty well ****ed at that point. Terrible tragedy all the way around.
