MUST SEE: Drone Video Offers Aerial View of Napa Quake Damage
This video captured by a man's quadcopter drone provides a bird's eye look at the damage.
A unique video published following Sunday’s South Napa Earthquake shows what the damaged town looks like from above.
The video was published to YouTube Sunday by Evan Kilkus and lasts for just under 7 minutes as the drone flies over things like cracked facades and crumbled bricks.
“This video is intended for educational purposes to show the damage caused to historic and new buildings in Napa,” the video’s introduction states. “This video is also intended to show how a quadcopter/drone can be used to help and asses damage.”
