Rapidan Dam 2024 | The Flood and The AFTERMATH

I took the drone out to get one last update of the Rapidan Dam Flood. It starts on June 24th, where it basically all kicked off. The latest videos are today on August 14th. Make sure to either watch until the end, or skip to the end to see the latest view of the Dam!

Thanks. I was doubtful that the erosion would get close to the store, but it certainly did. I think all concerned did the best they could in a terrible situation.

Someone somewhere upstream pushed a load of trees in to the river “not my problem” Well thanks a lot !

[@taylertreanor]

Great video! caught it in all its stages. Wish I had my drone during the higher water stages to get shots of, yours is very well documented!

[@BraamsFamilyFarm]

Thanks! I seen yours too. Looks good. I shot this with my mavic pro 3

Great video of the aftermath.

Can’t believe there isn’t a “all hands onboard” effort to remove the dam and redirect the river to protect from further erosion!

No need, the river has cut a new channel. The banks will stabilize.

I would imagine they're in the planning/securing funding stage. The erosion will be less/slower now that the flow is back down to normal.

The music makes the érosion happen quicker.

Don't mess with water!

Time to remove the dam and let the river flow naturally!
