BRANSON, Mo. -- The people who open and close the floodgates on the White River basin dams are repeating their warning that high water problems are far from over.

The Corps of Engineers kept adjusting lake levels this month to handle record rainfall. On Tuesday, the Corps said homeowners should not rush to repair flood damage.

More heavy rain could quickly fill Beaver, Table Rock, Bull Shoals and Norfork to capacity. Their floodgates closed last week to give some relief to homes downstream from the dams.

Jim Sandberg, Table Rock Lake’s operation project manager, says it hopes by June 1 that it can have Table Rock Lake a manageable level. On Tuesday, the lake had only two-tenths of an inch of storage capacity remaining.
