Hey Propwash, Actually since Jan 2010, Folsom Lake's lowest water level since then on December 4, 2015 was 348.68 feet above sea level and most of the old foundations were visible at that time. As of today the lake is only at 380.66 above sea level. The highest level was 464.53' above sea level set in July 14, 2011. I've been capturing and putting into an Access database the daily levels of the lake since 2015, but went back all the way to 2010. I got my first DJI drone in Oct 2015, the Phantom 3 Advanced.Sadly, it's a stark look at a year without much rain or snow fall in the West. Great Video!
Our lake up here (Folsom Lake) is almost down to it's lowest point since the dam was finished in 1956. Some of the settlements that were there up to the 1940s are now out of the water. A lake further north (Lake Oroville) is getting to the point they may have to stop generating electricity. I hope we get more snow and rain this year, but not in epic proportions.
Hey Palerider
