Rick's webcam has been running good today. In the last 15 minutes it has been on and off. Not sure it too many people watching or if the power and internet conection may be flickering on and off.
In the last 30 minutes the wind had picked up but the sea was not too bad. Hopefully it will be back up soon.
Still praying for our friends in Jamaica
Living,
I remember back in 2007 during Hurricane Dean, we could remotely move the Coco La Palm web cam. There was a struggle via the internet to control the direction of the camera, some wanted the water, some the beach and some the pool!!! Finally the system was overloaded, power went out or someone flipped the switch and all went dark. There was some very good video before we lost the picture!!
Attachment 18694here is a photo with two shots taken a minute apart..during Ivan (2009?), CoCo had this on during the storm..watched the tree just "disappear", I blinked and it was gone...........soon later the camera went out....
wow, soon come
Rick's cam still down??
I have tried several times, seems to still be down. I emailed them but no response so maybe they have no internet there and that is the problem.
its probably pretty low on the "things to do list"....and with Net down they cant control anything....
The internet is working fine in Negril... both Lime and Digicel have been working without any interruption... But I would think it is rather low on the priority list... especially since the waves whacked it last week...
absolutely Rob...its amazing and KUDOS to the Net for staying up, and the cameras that have captured some scenes in the past worked so well...Im sure its way low on the owners list :)
