Hi Dan,
On June 24th all the observatories that require personnel at the summit in order to operate had to close as no one could get to the summit. Those would be Subaru, the Kecks, IRTF, Gemini and the JCMT. I'm uncertain about the others that are remotely operated except UKIRT, which also closed since no access was available to the summit in case of an emergency. I'm unsure about the operating rules for the other remotely operated telescopes, so don't know if they operated or not (I could find out).
Cheers,
Tom
