Owl Shift Status

H1 was left in a planned IDLE state overnight due to extreme weather conditions.

Environmental Status:

1) Microseism is well above the 95th percentile

2) Winds have atleast calmed down starting about 3.5hrs ago (2-3am local)

H1 Status:

Since H1 has been down for a long time, I immediately opted to go for an Initial Alignment (605am PT).  Unfortunately, green arms looked bad and way off (very minimal light in both arms).  As I type this alog, Y-arm has shown life via INCREASE FLASHES, but X-Arm is stuck in ENABLE WFS.  But my computer is slow, so I'm going to reboot & relog into NoMachine.

H1 Status Update (645am Local):

Reboot helped...only a little.  

ALSx has progressed from a sliver of light on its camera and 0.0 transmission on ndscope (when starting INCREASE FLASHES at 709am Local), to flashes of light and transmited light on ndscope of 0.25 via INCREASE FLASHES at 730am local.

Had a hand-off to TJ at 8am local.

(Slow) Baby Steps....
