TL;DR

Strong winds reaching 114 mph caused significant damage to the UC Lick Observatory, including tearing off part of the dome shutter and exposing sensitive equipment, leading to a temporary closure for repairs that are expected to take months. No injuries occurred, and staff are working to assess and restore the facility, which is used for research and public visits.
