03-08  I noticed the workers when I was close to the monitors while I changed the file for the am on the recorders.  First I'd seen of workers during the day but I usually don't watch much then.  I scanned the recording for an hour and a half and found a few things to share in the next couple posts.

I thought it was probably another drone when I noticed a blink in the recording but when I look closer I find two blinks and it looks like sparks instead.

I don't believe it's the same as the webcam 4 just posted.

Yes, probably some dirt on the camera. It's been like that for more than 48 hours. Someone may have cleaned it. Will check it out at dawn

03-21-19  Hi Horse and fellow webcam viewers. I hadn't checked into the Fuk webcams for a while. It appears the vent towers are a lot more lit up at night then I remember in the past. Also noticing water tanker trucks at the Futubagun rest area...

Lots going on.  Catching up after a busy week.

Hi Horse and fellow webcam viewers. Good to see you back after busy week. Good Screen caps. I think (for me anyway) http://www.futabagun.jp/futaba_camera/ca...ointId=173 is down. ;( That cam was more telling then the rest of the cams lately IMO. Looks like we don't have to left click for webcam4 anymore after latest flash player upgrade...

No timer on Webcam 4, that's a first, or is it just some glitch on my part?
Anyways, it sure looks colourful tonight.
it's 2:30 JST

Hi RogueRR, sad to see the Futaba camera gone.  Just checked again and got unable to connect.  I lost my Comcast service for 24 hours recently; drove me crazy with boredom and not being connected.  I wonder if Tepco Gov doesn't want Olympic goers to see how heavy the traffic gets at that intersection.  Your grabs were getting good at showing some of the activity at the disaster site.  I was hoping you'd get some grabs of the torch runners and spectators foolish enough to go down that road.  

Hi Felibi, I'll check on that camera glitch and follow-up in next months post.  I haven't seen much unusual.  Tracked a few moon transits over a couple nights, most were obscured by clouds and only showed as little dots, a couple nights the moon shone thru brightly.

A crane load, looks like the vacuum cleaner tool, seen from both cameras at the same time.
