The sheer magnitude of flooding Houston is facing from Tropical Storm Harvey has taken on an entirely different perspective thanks to drones.
Videos like those captured by University of Houston freshman, Ahmed Gul, originally from California, provide a cinematic experience unlike anything a cellphone on the ground can provide.
Harvey’s impact on Houston and surrounding cities is unprecedented. The storm has triggered 316,000 power outages, dumped 11 trillion gallons of rain, and initiated more than 2,000 water rescues across Texas as of late Sunday night, according to CNN. Harvey is expected to linger over the Houston area through the middle of the week.
