The ice storm Nov 30th left some severe carnage in its wake. I found a site that has housed several pictures from around the lake. If you like big boats it isn't pretty. Most of these docks were near capacity when they went down.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
They got it over in St Louis as well. Here are two friends of mine who where in new slips. One is a 45 footer , Searay and the other is a Brand New 500 Searay. His deductable is 10% of value ($780,000). And the Marina is free from Liability. That sucks .

Man, what a mess. This is the Ozarks ?? would that be in Missouri? Arkansas?
Also, what caused the damage, the weight of the snow, wind and excessive rain? Looks as if the docks werent designed for bad weather but then, in a psycho storm, nothing holds up.
I hope their homes are ok
Sad to see, I don't think I'll apply for that engineer job out there after all.
I don't know the first thing about snow other than its cold, wet and white. Is there an average weight for a cubic foot of snow, or does it vary too much based on how wet it is? Thats a really terrible sight, have never seen anything like that before...

Missouri, south western part. Weight of ice. We get a lot more ice-storms in this area than snow volume. 2 winters ago, we got 3/4" of ice, and then 8" of snow. The ice destroyed trees, took out hundreds of miles of overhead power cables, I had no power for 7 days, except generated.
This storm did it again, sleet & freezing rain followed by up to a foot of snow, depending on just where you were in relation to it. My house got about 5 inches, dad's farm where I was hunting, about 8 inches, 12 inches just a bit farther south.
Houises are usually not hurt much, thjose ligght-weight sheet-metal roofings tho at marinas, and occasionally cheapo outbuildings, get crushed under the weight. The wind was pretty mean for this storm too, some gusts over 50 MPH, steady was arround 30 I think.
I spent some time in Missouri when I was a kid visiting distant cousins. We went to a place called Johnsons Shut-ins and the Meramec (sp?) Caverns, both were pretty cool however I went in the summer and the humidity almost killed me and so in the winter you guys get these friggen freezing storms? Damn. Ill take the earthquakes :crossx:
that sux
