As I understand it, only one small building on Mount Wilson was damaged. It contained some kind of local communications. I could be wrong, but I think I saw a post that said the building contained pager transmitters. I didn't even know that pagers still existed! Everything else survived.
A friend in LA told me that for a few hours, there weren't many big signals on the FM band. I think they had a temporary loss of power up there.
Bill Baker published a special edition of the Source newsletter concerning this:
"Communications are a nightmare!"

@carl-blare I can't get into Chat GPD anymore as that last bit I posted was my free trial and I am not signing up. So unfortunately I can't view any more links.
I got this about Mt Wilson. Seems the transmitters have been spared thanks to the firefighters.

@mark I didnt even know ChatGPT had a free-trial. I know only of the free version (phone app) and the full v.4 version that $200 per month. Never seen an option for free trial. But the free app has always automatically provided several minutes of the v.4 per day. I think it still does.
