TITLE: 10/09 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Earthquake
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
SHIFT SUMMARY: 

We are back to trying to relock after the big earthquake earlier today.

Locking notes:
Morning Initial Alignment
- Had to help XARM because it kept catching on wrong mode, but probably would've caught on its own eventually

Relocking
- Kept losing DRMI, mostly due to mode hopping - this was because the green arm references hadn't been sdf'd. After resetting the refs to what they were yesterday we were good
- Huge 7.6 earthquake come through and kept us down for multiple hours. It was in the BIG RED BUTTON zone, so I pressed the Big Red Button™.
