H1 Taken To IDLE Due To Winds + Microseism

Shift Update: 

Lots of tumbleweeds rolling by outside & Tons of ALS locklosses as the winds are back at 30+mph (this morning there were only two short lulls in the winds...where H1 was able to try MAX POWER on one of these windows).  Because of the double whammy of high microseism AND high winds (which can be heard in the Control Room, will take H1 to IDLE to help prevent ringing up violins.  Will check back hourly (time for lunch).
