I have just heard that the observatory at Mt Wilson near Los Angelese is in Grave danger from the disasterous bush fire in California.
Fingers crossed it comes out unscathed

Oh no. Not again.
I hope they're back burning and clearing right now.

They've even shutdown the JPL offices to all but essential staff!

Looks ominous - the webcam is dead, so hopefully that's just due to comms having gone down...
