Video: Missouri River Flood in Council Bluffs/Omaha

We put together some before and after pictures. I was quite surprised to see how Big Lake Park in Council Bluffs was completely submerged.

Perfect fly-bys, this actually shows more of the extent of the flooding vs looking from ground level. Thanks for allowing us to see nice views of the flood.

Nice update. When filming Big Lake, did you need to get any permission from Eppley to fly that close? I know you were off to the side of the flight line but some of those small planes on the private side of the airport turn tight circles when doing their pattern work.

Good question. I'm not able to fly a regular drone, but I can fly a min-drone if I stay east of I-29 and there is a strict height limit of 100 meters (around 310 fee). However, I limit myself to 150 feet in that area to avoid any problems.

Ok, I knew some of them don't even let you take off if you are too close.

Yes, if I am too close to an airport, the drones won't even take off. That's a good safety feature, especially for irresponsible drone owners.
