Natural disasters have been at the front of people’s mind over the last couple years. Over the last several years, natural disasters have destroyed homes, lives, and more than that: theme park attractions. Theme parks are visited across the world by millions on an annual basis. They get us away from reality and put us in the “fun” mindset.

Two shelters have been set up in Branson and the Red Cross has created a website so people can let their friends and family know they are okay. If you know someone in Branson or another area affected by the tornadoes, check this website to see if your friends or family are okay if you are unable to reach them.
