| Morgan Hill Weather News: Tuesday 4/21/2009 3:30pm As we bask in another 90+ degrees of heat, spare a thought for last year's devastating Summit Fire that launched a very active fire season in our area on May 22nd. NBC Bay Area News is reporting that an arrest has just been made in connection with the origins of the Summit Fire. Friday 4/10/2009 10:00am Everything is back to "normal" today after yesterday's communication outage that took away phone and Internet access for 50,000+ households. Our webcam and weather data updates were down from just after 2am until around 8pm in the evening. This malicious act was a pretty big news story given the widespread affect on banks, ATMs and store card processing systems. Cash was king yesterday in the south county area. Let's hope this attack on fiber optic cables is not repeated and that a few worthy lessons were learnt about what can happen during an infrastructure emergency. Thursday 4/2/2009 8:20am Hope you all enjoyed yesterday's April Fool's Day fun! The folks over at Flight Global did a nice summary of the aviation pranks, including our own and the amazing Hotelicopter... read their blog here. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, local flight instructor Mary Ann Dach shared our view of an Air Force One touch-n-go at South County Airport. Check out Mary's blog here... and perhaps take a few flying lessons with her too (but don't expect a 747) !! Wednesday 4/1/2009 12:01am March was a strange month : Earthquakes, mysterious "sonic booms" and unSafeway parking lots! Question is... did anyone notice President Obama paying a visit to Morgan Hill? Southern California yes, but Santa Clara County? Well... browsing our webcam archive I came across surprising evidence that the President and his famous aircraft Air Force One did in fact make a low altitude pass over our town. What was the purpose of this Executive inspection we wonder? Did Governor Schwarzenegger persuade the President to view locations of last year's wildfires in the hope of securing more fire-fighting resources and a "free ride" in Air Force One? Or perhaps even President Obama has an eye on the local foreclosure market! Of course, the President could have just been on a quick weekend visit to his favorite Hawaiian Islands, sneaking back to the continental US under the FAA radar. See Air Force One for yourselves below... or click here for an animated fly-by.  |
