| Morgan Hill Weather News: Sunday 11/8/2009 8:30am Numerous news reports are describing a meteor event last night that many Bay Area residents witnessed. Some claim this was an early blast from the annual Leonids Meteor Shower while others say the Taurid Shower which is another annual event around this time. The Leonids are due to peak around November 17th and expected to produce up to 500 meteors per hour which constitutes a "half-storm". An unusually strong event is predicted for this year by NASA. Keep your eyes on the skies (except while driving!). Although we didn't witness last night's event, seems our webcam might have caught the remains of it's trail disappearing over the Santa Cruz Mountains around 5:09pm: Tuesday 11/3/2009 9:30pm After a very frustrating two days of site outages, it looks like we are back to operation as normal. Our webcam has been the most unavailable feature, followed by the news feeds and webcam image archive. All these failures were caused by some PHP configuration changes made by our site host, effectively limiting scripting features that we were otherwise relying upon. These unannounced changes came after a complete scripting failure on Monday morning. Now some significant workarounds have been implemented plus some more robust and defensive programming. One hopes these changes will stand the test of time but we also have a "Plan B" to move to another hosting provider. Apologies for any convenience to those visitors who stopped by in the last couple of days. To prove we actually have webcam access restored, here are a couple of sunset snapshots from earlier this evening:  |
