Going To Be A Long Night
Seeing gusts over 50mph here at the Corner Station.
Also can make out the tumbleweeds beginning their reclammation of the X-arm's X1. Sorry, Tyler/Chris/Scott.
Needless to say, H1 is randomly losing lock all over the place depending on when a building is slammed by wind. Alignment currently looks good with us getting as far as DARM OFFSET once, but the winds are all over the place. Maybe I'll take a break and try an alignment, but really I need the winds to take a break. :-/
Took SEI_CONF to WINDY (from MICROSEISM_WINDY).
Took SEI_DIFF to DOWN, but then went back to FULL.
10:00 UTC Winds are easily averaging 25mph with gusts up to 50mph, and speeds are currently trending up. H1 alignment is good with DRMI locking.
Going to HOLD at LOCKING ARMS GREEN until winds die down.
