That was Corona, in orange county south of LA.
It's happening right now at Dewtt-Spain airport in Memphis.
See some video
here . This was shot several days before the crest.
The water is over the tops of the personnel doors even on the highest hangars on the north end of the field.
My RV-8 was hoisted on a lift, but the higher than expected crest got to it, won't know for a few weeks how bad it is.
Most of the hangars were empty, and we got most of the the flyable aircraft out, but several airplanes are completely under water, including an irreplaceable Curtis Robin.
Lots of stuff (toolboxes, etc.) was left on tables and shelves in hangars higher than the expected crest that are now under water.
Not happy...
