An example of what NOT to do! This was about a year after I bought my first drone so almost 2 years ago by now. I was flying to record the Tygart Valley River overrunning its banks in Junior and Arden area after some rain and snow melt combined to cause some flooding. I hadn't been in either town before so I wasn't familiar with the dangers that are present for drones. Scout your flight path as much as possible or fly higher to avoid unforeseen obstacles. I almost found out the hard way.
