Branson Theaters Closed Down Due To Tornado

The tornado that hit Branson, Mo on leap year February 29, 2012 did extensive damage to Branson and highway 76. It was quite a sight to see. Fortunately there wasn't any fatalities in the storm. The tornado zig zagged across the strip multiple times doing damage to hotels, theaters, homes, and restaurants along the way.

The tornado hit during the middle of night while the town was closed down, which probably was a very good thing. Damage can still be seen as you drive down the strip and clean up continues. If you are coming to Branson, you may be wondering which theaters took the worst damage and which theaters will be closed for business in the upcoming year.
