WorldA tourist boat capsized and sank Thursday during a fierce storm on a lake in Missouri, killing at least 11 people, the local sheriff said. He said the incident was caused by heavy winds, saying the tour boat had been making its way to land. The man-made lake where the boat sank is a popular tourist draw located in southern Missouri near the city of Branson, on the border with Arkansas. Branson, Missouri is a vacation destination popular for its theaters and country music, including singer Dolly Parton's Civil War-themed attraction. The incident in Missouri was part of a storm system that struck much of the Midwest late Thursday, according to meteorologists.
