Movie I made from Mt. Hamilton, Lick Observatory real-time webcam showing the fires. Quieter now, but I hope that all stay safe and firefighters can save as many homes and historic structures as possible:
Note that occasional light flares just to the right of the dome are probably fire trucks and other vehicle headlights. Likely all fire on the adjacent hills though.
Update as of ~11 pm PDT. Some fire activity downhill to the left and also approaching closer from the hill behind the dome.
Updating the movie periodically tonight (see replies). Also check out @UCObservatories and @LickObservatory for official updates.
Update as of ~11:30 pm PDT. Heavy smoke likely shows the fire is in the dip behind the dome. Flare-up to the lower left has decreased a bit.
Midnight update to movie of @LickObservatory threatened by the #SCULightningComplex fire. Quieter at the moment. Raw images available at mthamilton.ucolick.org/hamcam/. @LickObservatory @UCObservatories
Last update tonight (12:30 am) for movie of Mt Hamilton, @LickObservatory threatened by #SCULightningComplex fire. Look for more updates from @UCObservatories tomorrow. Note times on video are 1 hr behind due to daylight savings.
Morning update of movie made from Mt Hamilton, @LickObservatory real-time webcam showing how close the #SCULightningComplex fire came. Thanks to #CALFIRE for their tireless efforts. No official damage reports yet. some outer buildings may be impacted. Main domes appear safe.
