Aerial Images Show Storm Runoff Into Water Over Dana Point Thursday

DANA POINT, CA — On the ground, the water runoff from this week’s storm darkening Dana Point waters may be difficult to see.

Orange County pilot and photographer Wesley Parsons shared these photos he shot while piloting a Joy Air Airplane Tours aircraft over Dana Point Harbor Thursday morning.

The brown water, Wesley told Patch, comes from San Juan Creek and is likely caused by the heavy amount of rain the region has seen over the past month.

Thank you for sharing your photos with Patch, Wesley!
