That's an awful lot of water!!! I guess it's just time to fly the indoor quad for a bit.

I'm waiting for the big melt here. We have 2.5ft of dense pack snow here and weather report has the temps in the 40's for the first half of this coming week. Big melt. Expecting flooding.

This would be perfect fpv time. Get a good idea of how high the water really is. Get a good size pack and attempt 20 minute clips of the river. I know here the snow pack is about a foot deep and we are going to see high levels ourselves. Our 2 prime flood planes are the grand river in painsville Ohio and the chagrin in eastlake.
