WOW! Stunning video. Wasn't aware the spillway was ever used since 02. (lived in castroville then so ALL eyes were on the damn dam that time) Sad to see how the lake has fallen now. Hell the damn river hardly exists anymore. No flow upstream of lake and MANY dry spots near where i am now in la coste. Even street view you can see it mainly at gross ln and cagnon rd.

Thank you SAWS and BMA for mismanagement of our Beautiful Lake to the point where it is now Empty so you could make money and screw Farmers and Ranchers down stream of much needed water so that our Crops fail.

Now a dust bowl pretty much.

Now Medina Lake is only about 5% of capacity. You can walk across most of it. Rocky bottom. Dry as it can be.

Has anyone else noticed how storms literally get eaten away right over Medina Lake? And this is why it never rains there. The storms die out and reform after passing by the lake. I have dozens of radar images capturing this strange occurrence.

learn how to properly use a cam. learn to edit. this hot mess wud only be improved by cutting entire the first 4 mins, as well all but mayhap 15 secs of endless spillway framings.

RIP lake. Officially called Medina Sand Bowl.

When I was young we used to be able to drive across the dam and take that low road across the river and all the way into Castroville. When the water was going over the spillway in lower volumes, it was neat to park and walk down and sit in the moving water. Beautiful footage. Wish we could get some rain like that today.

Sadly it’s almost dry once again…

That was not expected but wow a freaking wall bam ...put that on ya bologna sandwich 👍👍👍

If only it looked a damn thing like that now

Lake came up at least 15’

Terrible not a documentary just some drone footage.

No stopping Mother Nature, and the overflow appears to be working as it should. Great video.

looks flat to me 2:15

Would be cool to take that ride in a innertube raft

Music 😭🤮😢

Could sure use some of that rain today. Hoping everyone in the path of the Das Goats Fire makes it out okay with no homes damaged or lost.

I knew I was already subscribed @Chris Fisher how you doing brother another from SA good too see your still active with drone shooting love your work brother

Looks like someones design worked...good job guys hopefully no one was hurt...

KInda makes ya wonder how that spill way must have looked after Hurricane Harvey. Great Video Very Well Done

I don't think I have ever seen an overflow system like this .. it's amazing ! Whoever designed this was VERY good at their job!

0:34 Just look at that beautiful wake left by the motor boat !

beautiful!

Nice video - overly loud audio. Some of us watch in the wee hours when loud music turns us away.

No one could have predicted it would rain.

Meanwhile California lakes are 50+ below normal, and syphoning the Colorado river dry

It would be great to see that dam collapse and what that boat go white watering

That was sweet. Love the way that spillway works. The power of water is impressive. Easy to see how the original earth was radically changed 4400 years ago from the global flood of Noah's day. Drone footage was professional. The music was a nice touch. Solid video!

Great job. Great video content. My thumbs up.

Perfectly performing spillway, a job well done for the engineers of the project.

There’s gold in them thar hills

Interesting thing is the water is crystal clear. & running that swift?

Overflow at 4:30

BEAUTIFULLY captured and such a gorgeous area! Nicely done **

Too much intro. Otherwise, nice video. Thanks.

Remarkable footage capture...

Did the drone swim away safely??

Exceptionally good flood control, and no way for the damn to be over-topped, or the overflow to destroy the outflow, as it's so wide and the water only cascades!

“Rain” by Charlie Robison would have been a good song to go with this, you know, since it’s basically a song about the Medina

Just found your video. Just getting into drones....is that a good place to fly? I’m looking for a spot

It took just three days of rain to wipe us out in Colorado. Wish we'd had a spillway like that!

beutifal spillway overflow view

Love my city

that looks like a good way to lose a dam.

Love the music!

This is so cool

And texas wants to sue new mexico over water in the Rio grand over water Evaporated we held back to control flooding in t.x. what in the !!!!!#@##@@@!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell me the name of the music playing? I love it
