Overflight of Boone NC approaching from Blowing Rock. Quick circle over town then departing to the North. Note, wherever you see brown, like the big parking lot around the mall, that is where the water went. It looks like the water treatment plant was not underwater. I am sure there are a lot of people hurting here but there seem to be many parts of town intact. Aircraft is a Grumman Tiger. Cam...

    Can confirm Boone is "hit or miss" in terms of damage, some people are in pretty good shape, other people are cut off from the rest of the world. On the whole, Boone is in better shape than other places in the area, unless you are one of those people whose sole route of access is gone.

      Compare the streets of black/gray to the brown. Pause the video at 2:01, note the large building with the brown parking lot. Compare that pavement to the parking lot towards the bottom edge of the screen. The mall was flooded, the other building was not. I like to fly, I am much less inclined to learn how to edit video. Sorry.

    Well im confused. If this was to show devastated areas it didnt work. All the built up areas look normal. I didn't see one broken road at all. No piles of debris no piles of cars or homes, none of the newly formed rivers where roads used to be. Really, i didnt see anything at all that resembled the kind of damage we are seeing on ground. At 9 min there was a town that may have looked like it was in disarray. I think narration was needed. I watched this on my phone then went to computer hoping larger screen showed something. It didnt. Are you flying by the hard hit areas? Still I did appreciate the view of the fly by. Seeing arial shots of mountain towns is a rare view. Such a beautiful area. Thanks for the vid.

    • @defenderofthepublic
      @defenderofthepublic Месяц назад

      The FAA mandates a minimum safe altitude. A careful review of the video, and perhaps pausing, will show several mobile homes washed away as well as how half of the town streets are earth toned as they are covered with mud.

    • @deeppurplefan
      @deeppurplefan Месяц назад

      Its not going to look like a wasteland overall. The washed out areas are in the valley floor where all the water funneled into the rivers and creeks. This impacts some town centers and many main routes that follow rivers and thus get washed out. The immediate problem is if you can't get in or out with a normal vehicle. Once they fill in the blown out road sections aide will flow and repairs start.
