Title:  01/13/2015, Evening Shift 00:00 – 08:00 (16:00 – 00:00) All times in UTC (PT)

Support: Jenne, Evan H.,   
 
Incoming Operator: Travis

Shift Detail Summary:  Hardware injections scheduled to start at 08:10 (00:10). 

   While doing an initial alignment after a commissioning lock, were hit with two earthquakes at same time (6.7 near Japan, 6.0 near Bolivia). Seismic has rung up to 5um/s. Reset WD trips on BS. Put the IFO in DOWN until the earth calms a bit.  

   Seismic calmed down enough to try initial alignment and locking. The initial alignment took longer than normal, but was mostly OK. Tried a couple of times but could not get PRM_ALIGN to move past REFL_WFS_CENTERING_PRX. I skipped this step. Trying to relock.
