The Morrison Hotel in downtown Los Angeles just burned. :-(
The 120 year old hotel was featured on the cover of The Doors album of the same name.

This video shows the Mountain fire overtaking our newest ham radio site on South Mountain, near Santa Paula, California.

Power was lost to the site there but fortunately there was only minor damage to some very expensive equipment.
