Lick Observatory Damaged in Storm

The historic Lick Observatory’s Great Refractor dome has been damaged in heavy winds and rain.

The shutter cover over the dome opening blew off, according to this article by a local TV outlet. The Great Refractor itself was not damaged but is currently exposed to wind and rain. Fortunately the next three to four days have no rains forecasted so hopefully they can protect the telescope and related equipment.
