Lockloss at 2025-09-22 14:43 UTC after just over 4.5 hours locked due to earthquake. I took us to ASC Hi Gains once we were passing 700 on peakmon, and it fully transitioned over, but it was still too much movement for the ASC to handle

SHIFT SUMMARY: One lockloss with a long recovery, DRMI really didn't want to lock despite having pretty decent flashes after doing an alignment. The winds were moderate starting around 21:00 UTC, and were even worse from 00:00 to 01:00 UTC esp on YARM. We've been lock for a little over an hour.
LOG: No log.
21:51 UTC lockloss
Winds are gusting over 30mph with a 3 min avg of 20mph. Relocking might take a little while. From windy.com (which uses ECMWF, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ) the winds are predicted to get a little worse in the next 2 or 3 hours then calm down around 4/5 UTC.

Adding a comment here to note two things:
The thermalization adjustment of the SRCL offset appears to still be performing well according to the grafana page.
There is a 2% difference in TST actuation strength between the model that was pushed on 8/23 to the model created from this measurement. This is also reflected in kappa TST being about 1.02 after thermalization. This is likely due to charging. Tagging CAL and SUS.

Note this fill ran at the later time of 10:35:00 this morning.
Haven't seen this for a while, but CP1 code must have skipped the 10:00:00 start time. I've manually loaded an temporary config to run at 10:35:00, it is running now.
