Wow was I lucky tonight in several ways: Hurricane Zeta came through New Orleans October 28, 2020 with winds around 110 mph. Fortunately, it was also moving at 22mph so our houses and trees did not have to withstand the storm very long and did not bring us much rain.
Then the eye of the storm rolled over us and was one of the most amazing things I have witnessed. It was so calm and serene! We walked around a little bit and saw and smelled a fire in the distance I saw an orange glow in the sky and first I thought it was the fire, but soon realized it was sunset. I popped my Mavic Air 1 drone up over my property at 300' and took this picture. It wasn't long before the winds were picking up again in the opposite direction and I knew it was time to bring her down.
I have heard/seen videos of storm chasers who hunt out such opportunities, but today was being in the right place... And on another lucky note, we are one of the 23% in the metro New Orleans area who still have power!
