Other notes:

- EY dust alarm went off. >0.3u reads 16028.6 PCF, >0.5y reads 1285.7 PCF at the time.

- As Daniel requested, I added graphics indicate operating mode on the Ops Overview. The graphics visibility is calculated using H1:ODC-OBSERVATORY_MODE. I haven't had a chance to test if it works properly but so far the "environment" badge shows up as it's supposed to.

- Tumbleweeds are flying! Slowly accumulating along the X arm but still far from blocking the road.

- We haven't had a stable lock since the wind reached 40mph.
