“The cam is back!!!!!”
Actually, this appears to be a different cam than I saw last week. As I recall, the images last week were of the media towers, not the Mt. Wilson observatory. Maybe it can rotate.
Yep, followed by stiffening regulations and laws, higher insurance rates and more people suing because they are not permitted to protect their OWN PROPERTY!
“The next story is about mudslides in Los Angeles....”
I was saying the same thing to a friend Friday. The rains come and the houses start sliding.
It reminds me - in an entirely different context - of the dramatic picture of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London towering above the smoke of a bombed city.
Yep... fires and then the mudslides..
Pretty sure it can, they specifically mentioned the direction it was looking in some of the info given on the page. Last report, from Wednesday, a team was going to try and fix their connectivity and get the cam back online and they expected it would be by today.
It’s amazing how the picture is constantly changing.
“Towercam movement is controlled by using a standard TV antenna rotator. The rotation is in the horizontal plane only, and is manually controlled by the observer on duty. The field of view covers approximately 260 degrees ranging from Mt. Pacifico in the north to just past Mt. Harvard in the south.”

Be sure and come by at sunset or later for a spectacular view of the fire.
AS the sun goes down, the LA fires are now becoming visible again.
