If there's a thunderstorm forecast on Symi, Wendy and Adriana in the Symi Visitor Accommodation office unplug the webcam and the office computers, router etc, because lightning striking the overhead power lines or telephone lines frequently fries any electronic equipment left connected to either. The lines are normally overhead because most of Yialos and Chorio is built on solid rock, and the part that isn't is subject to periodic flooding in winter. Maybe it hasn't been plugged back in again.
If that isn't the cause this time, it could be that the webcam just needs rebooting - it sometimes fails to restart properly if there is a power outage, even a planned one for maintenance.
