DJI Phantom 3 Pro FatShark Dominator V3?
Trying out my new Fatshark FPV goggles. It's way easier getting into and out of areas while wearing the Fatsharks. The 720p from the goggles is pretty good. I highly recommend these if you have a P3P and you want to get into FPV.
Apparently you mount them on your drone and get a very stable image.
Anyway, Otay appears to have a good amount of water (12/27/2015).

Tad, judging by your yards you could have some trouble over the next week with up to 15" of rain forecast in northern california.
Started snowing here at 5500' in the Pah Rah range. Hopefully the Sierra, just 30 miles east, will wring out most of moisture. The local GID doesn't plow the last 1/4 mile of road to my place.

They're calling it the Godzilla El Nino.
I just hope that it puts lots of snow in the mountains, but would prefer rain in the valleys.

For the international reader, one might think that the state was under water.
Not so.
At this moment, we are just around an average year of precip:
http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/snowapp/swcchart.action
Although in the So Sierra, we are actually BELOW an average year, still.
We certainly benefit from that, but an average snow year does essentially nothing to reverse the drought situation.
It's easy to look at the water on the ground, and not think about the huge deficit that exists BELOW the ground.

Here is an interesting resource. The pros on here already know, but this is a mid-level person who has been blogging her observations for a couple of years, and is thought to be very accurate in her assessments. I find her posts refreshing. Apparently it's read by the "who's who" in water policy in Ca:

Michele is leaning toward SHAVE right now. Loves that lightning & thunder.
to use the high-resolution verification data in the development of techniques for probabilistic warnings of severe thunderstorms,

Looks like Lake Tulloch is refilling? Saw it much lower in 1990.

I drive past Lexington Reservoir on the days I go in to work. I wish I took a pic before the winter rains started. I'll get one today, not much difference.
If I go by Don Pedro in the light, I'll get a snap of that too. There's a long way to go before that begins to look like it's getting replenished.
We've had good precip this winter--ahh, much needed. But, what used to fall as snow at the lower elevations is now falling as rain. It'll be a snow-free drive to my cabin at 6,000 this weekend. That would have been unheard of a few years ago if we got this much precip in Jan.
