I can see the mountains when watching it. The cam rotates, so it turns in almost all directions, and if there is something going on, it will focus on that. Watched a large jet take off this afternoon when it was still light. It’s a busy place, what with the major airlines and the little pontoon planes that take off from the water there.
Looks like you have a lovely view of the mountains from your house. That has to be so cool! [and cold in the winter. LOL]
Sorry...didn’t see this earlier. We didn’t get any rain. Darn it! It was cloudy for a lot of the day, but that’s all. Kept it from getting as warm as they predicted, though, and that’s a good thing.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Darn the luck. I’d hoped for rain in your area. At least it wasn’t hot.
We have clouds now from the system rolling across south of us and we’re supposed to be warmer and more humid tomorrow. The 10:00 weather forecast gives us more hope for a decent rainfall late tomorrow night and we pray they’re right. We’re hurtin’.

I hope yesterday was uneventful - - - no more snakes to make your heart skip a beat!

We have a cold front coming in later today. It's supposed to cool off some. There's a level 1 risk for severe storms down in Southeast Oklahoma.
It sounds like you had a much nicer day. Nice and normal!
Your cold front will come through here tomorrow. Maybe a few thunder storms, which would please me immensely LOL, but we’ll be happy to just get some rain this time.
If your schedule is the same as ours, you’ll warm up again in two days.
I remember sitting down in the ICBM Launch Control Centers when they would test the Green Pine communications system. They would always poll Clear AFS as well as others around the world. When the stations replied the sound quality was so good you would think they were standing right next to you.
Thanks. I recognize it on the photograph. served there 1958 till 59.
