When the August 11 derecho tore through Portage, it did not just hit a few spots. It hit everything.

Lake Shore Camp Resort (the old Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park on Old Porter Road) asked us to come out and capture what happened, so we flew the property and built a full 3D model of it.

What you are watching here is a video flythrough of that model. You can follow the damage from the front gate all the way back to the lake. Snapped trees, damaged units, debris, blocked roads. All of it in one continuous pass.

The video is the easy part to share. The model itself does a lot more.

In the actual model we can spin the property to any angle, zoom in on a single site, pull measurements straight off it, and calculate volume on debris piles. That last one matters right now. If you need to know how many cubic yards of downed timber are sitting on your property before you call a hauler, we can tell you without anybody dragging a tape measure through it.

If you manage a campground, a mobile home park, an HOA, a church, a school, a farm, or any property with more ground than one person can walk in a day, we can do the same for you.

FAA Part 107 certified and fully insured, based right here in Portage.

Big news from 4 Fans Aerial Photography! ✈️

I’ve been a little quiet here the last week because I was heads down getting ready for my commercial pilot check ride. Today it paid off. I passed, and I’m officially a commercial pilot.

Here’s what that means for you: 4 Fans Aerial Photography can now shoot from manned aircraft, not just drones. That opens the door to sweeping altitude shots, larger area coverage, and footage that drones can’t legally or practically get. Same eye for the shot, more ways to deliver it.

Some photos from a flight around the area today. You really can get a better sense of how powerful this storm was. 

Then I flew over the data center in Hobart and the linemen pop city in Southlake Mall. 

And to finish it out the County Line Orchard corn maze.

Great video from Above Reality showing the tent city the lineman have at Southlake Mall!
