Flight Timeline*

  • Initial acquisition flights
    • Aug. 30, 2017 - Sept. 6, 2017
  • Re-flights of distorted/cloud cover areas
    • Sept.7, 2017 - Sept. 8, 2017

*Due to time constraints attempting to capture as much flooding as possible, some areas were originally acquired with extreme distortion and cloud-cover making them unusable and therefore needed to be re-flown days later.
