Shoal Creek Flood 2019 - Joplin, MO

Every year, Shoal Creek overflows its banks. For over 100 years, Low Water Bridge would be covered for a few days every spring. In 2019, a new bridge was built upstream and Low Water was relegated to foot traffic only.

Great video, I’d also be nervous throughout the flight above those waters.

Initially the video looks like someone putting an awful amount of trust in their GPS. Superb video Don 😊

You trust and risk equipment every time you shoot.

Now that is low even for my comfort under the bridge what were you flying??? Great video

[@MudballDon]

That was a Phantom 4 pro. Under the bridge scared me a bit too. They didn't show up, but there were swallows buzzing back and forth as I went through. The most nervous I got though was at 01:54

Yes, it happens every spring.
