Update on the fire

It definitely smells worse this morning than it did yesterday. Over night the fire spread from 35,000 acres to nearly 90,000. It is making a steady march to Mt Wilson, where firefighters have been set up and using as a control center. It also homes all the local radio and television communication towers. It also has a beautiful old observatory. They are prepared to defend it but recognize that they may not be able to. So we'll see what the day holds.



This is Mt. Wilson observatory before on a normal day.
