Branson storms

Sorry for not posting anything for a while. Kind of forgot about posting and honestly havent been shooting much lately. Been doing a lot of video work. Anyways, here are a few shots from some of the damage Branson received following the Leap Day Tornado.

This area is actually in West Branson, along Joe Bald Road near Table Rock Lake. I was working with some White River Valley Electric Cooperative guys helping reset some line.

Thanks goes to the families for letting me snap a few photos while they dealt with the devastation of their home. 

Enjoy.

Nearby Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative joined the crews in the Branson area to help to restore power to the more than 7,000 members left in the dark.
