Emergency: I Need Somebody To Fly Over Brunswick with an Drone/Plane To Take Pictures

I'll post them on my blog.

Well, after this blog post, I here there was a P-3 airplane flying  and taking photography over the site. Somebody should ask for pictures.

Duke Energy’s nuclear plant in Brunswick County is now inaccessible due to flooding, which has left workers stranded.
Highways 87, 133 and 211 to get to the Southport facility are all mostly impassable, although a few have braved the elements and made it in and out. One worker, who wish to not be identified, said they are fine despite the circumstances and got food delivered via helicopter.
The worker estimates about 250 people are at the plant between maintenance, security and operations

“We are all dirty and tired,” the worker said. “We lost county water to the site yesterday, but we just got it back.”
The worker made it clear the plant is safe despite the effects from Hurricane Florence. Reactors were shut down hours before hurricane-force winds hit the region.
A P-3 Orion aircraft flew over the plant Monday to check on any damage from overhead.
