Pakistan by Drone - Punjab Floods

This week I'm veering from my normally cheerful and colorful travel adventures and posting a somber video of the devastating flooding that occurred in the Punjab province of Pakistan in late August 2025.  The town where I am stationed was surrounded by flood waters but the town itself was spared given its relative higher elevation compared to the surrounding countryside.  The flood waters reached about a mile from where I was living so I grabbed my drone and went to film the floods from the air.  This video highlights both the extent of the flooding and impact on the surrounding farmland and villages as well as how people seem to be going on with their everyday lives despite this situation.  People still have to travel accross a flooded roadway to earn a living so they used farm tractors as a makeshift ferry.  Hopefully this video conveys the scope of the flooding.
