Longtime resident Sharon Thomason-Sekyi, who oversees outdoor recreation at the lodge, described scenes of devastation as neighbors checked on each other amid rising waters. With around 30-40 guests and more from nearby Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park caught in the chaos, the flood exposed a painful reality: many locals lack flood insurance. As cleanup begins and community resilience emerges, the disaster underscores a yearlong call for urgent flood control action in this vulnerable Ozarks region.
