REALLY_BIG_EARTHQUAKE button pressed
There was a 6.6 magnitude earthquake in the Pacific Ocean 500 miles from us.
For reference, the Montana earthquake was 5.8 and 340 miles from us.
Seismic motion is off the charts here in the control room. Everything tripped straight away.

Recovery started a few minutes ago. So far, resetting all SEI watchdogs and then requesting "recover EQ" seems to be bringing everything back online.
Suspensions reset okay, and I also brought the SEI_Config node to windy_nobrsx, so we've got sensor correction going as well.
