6. Both sources look pretty reputable and not like conspiracy theory kind of sites

It would be nice to know if that aerial photo came from one of the local news affiliates and was sourced back to them as being the slough. I just hate it when something like that photo gets distributed and then later busted as not really what it purports to be. Maybe I'm overly cautious and sensitive given all the bad reporting and pictures of innocent people from the last week. But it happened with the Venezuela elections stories too. Photos of the election authorities burning ballots from the 2010 elections (as per their legal obligation to do so after a period of time) got posted recently and were said to be of the government burning ballots in the most recent election to endure Maduro's win.
