Hello all, the director of caltech optical observatories sent this email:

------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues:
There is (as yet) no imminent danger to the Observatory from the fires that are currently raging in San Diego county. However, there are a few fires in the general vicinity of the Palomar Mountain region. After due consultation I have informed Dan McKenna, the recently appointed site supervisor, to evacuate the Observatory.

As of 4 am this morning, I got an e-mail from my friend who is a night assistant, on fire watch all night. The observatory is still standing, although the fire is in the community of Palomar Mountain. The roads are cut off now, so if the fire comes, the people there will have to shelter in the 200-inch dome. Kate HTN
Thanks.
