Locking Atempt
   With winds a bit calmer early this morning, and after TJs initial alignment, tried to relock the IFO. Unfortunately wind is coming back up before we were able to lock. The locking made it to once to REDUCE_CARM_OFFSET and CARM_ON_TR before DRMI unlocks and it goes down. The CARM_ON_TR lock broke a few seconds after the CS took a sustained gust of 30 plus.  

   The winds are back up, fluctuating from mid-teens to lower 30s. Have recorded a gust at End-X of 40 plus. Seismic is not much better. The EQ band is elevated, especially the end stations. The microseism band is recording CS-Z values of over 1.0 um/s and is averaging around the 0.5 um/s line. 

   As environmental conditions deteriorate locking is getting worse. At this point barely able to make it past LOCKING_ALS. Will give it a few more tries and if not better success will put the IFO into DOWN until conditions improve.
