3. Damn shame what's happening there. I used to live on Mt. Wilson trail...,

it passed right beside the house I was living in. I used to go camping in those mountains almost every weekend (except winter).

4. Look at all that smoke!

My thoughts are will all those brave firefighters and people affected by this blaze.

5. Thank you --

that's horrible. And it shows no signs of slowing down.

We're looking at a catastrophe that cannot be measured yet, I think. I've never seen anything like this that I can recall.

And no winds............................

7. Ominous. There is 1-2 BILLION dollars worth of communications equipment there,

PLUS the value of the observatory and all it's high-tech project equipment.
