Boulder Flatiron Cam Blog http://blog.boulderflatironcam.com Status updates and news of the BFC Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:38:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Fourmile fire http://blog.boulderflatironcam.com/2010/09/06/fourmile-fire/ http://blog.boulderflatironcam.com/2010/09/06/fourmile-fire/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:28:29 +0000 admin http://blog.boulderflatironcam.com/?p=54 Scott is going to make a change tomorrow to point the webcam to the north so can get live views of the fourmile fire west of Boulder.   Let’s hope the wind calms down tonight and the fire fighters can get things under control tomorrow.  Add a comment if there’s anything we can do to help the evacuated residents.

It looks like the only webcam I know of up in fourmile may have lost power during the fire.  http://bmanthy.com/webcam.php

Beautiful weather this morning in Boulder as a storm moved through then the sun came out.  Looking east from Boulder was better but the webcam view to the west has some nice shots today.

This wave of snow in the early afternoon was pretty cool.   The time lapse was also good today but it seems a little choppy. It didn’t capture the interesting weather today as well as I’d hoped.

Five minute updates just don’t have the same liquid quality.

We had a problem with the wireless network that prevented the cam from sending images. I got back to town and put in new hardware and hopefully we should be back in action.
