Amazing footage of storm damage in Mayflower, Ark. shot from a camera mounted on a drone caught the attention of nation.

It is also drawing scrutiny from the Federal Aviation Administration, which is reportedly looking into the use of drones by journalists in Arkansas.

Storm chaser and KATV videographer Brian Emfinger used a drone to capture images of the tornado that left a path of destruction through Arkansas on Sunday. Citing a story in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Forbes is reporting the FAA is investigating the use of the drones.

"We are looking into it," FAA spokesperson Lynn Lunsford said.

Emfinger's You Tube video has almost 2 million views.

FAA regulations currently prohibits the commercial use of drones, even for reporting or photography but critics said the lack of concrete rules creates confusion.

KATV's Nick Gentry said the station has used the drone – which is about a foot and a half wide with propellers about 8 inches long – to cover other events, including a fire. Other Arkansas stations and private photographers also used unmanned aircraft to document the tornado damage.

If the FAA does proceed with enforcement, Emfinger and other journalists could face up to a $10,000 fine.
