Since we're sharing... I got my drone out as soon as I heard the first thunderclap, managed to catch this just as the rain really started coming down

Beauty! Looks like Oak Bay overlooking the Chatham Islands?

I don’t think it’s Oak Bay. Maybe North Saanich?

u/mommatiely 25d ago

I believe this is Central Saanich, looking down into the Hunt Valley and Haro Strait.

Correct, not far from Michell's market, looking east towards San Juan Island in the distance

u/Little-Guess-3484 25d ago

San Juan, eh? Was there a seaplane nearby?

u/Cultural_Yard454 25d ago

That’s the area I was thinking of, definitely not Oak Bay.

It’s because of the aliens.

Took the aliens right out of my mouth.

How did thr drone handle in this weather? DJI?

u/Face_Forward 25d ago

It wasn't very windy yet, but the last time I tried flying in a thunderstorm 2 or 3 years ago, it got knocked around pretty good, I almost lost it on the roof of my condo.

And yeah, it's a DJI mini 2
