TITLE: 03/10 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Earthquake
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan S
SHIFT SUMMARY:

IFO is LOCKING and in ENVIRONMENT due to the 6.6 mag EQ from Iceland that we're still recovering from - Lockloss alog 83259.

The primary microseism is still elevated and will likely take another 30 mins to 1hr to return to pre-EQ levels (which were high to begin with). I began attempting locking ~20 minutes ago but this was not successful. I'll set H1 for initial aligment before my shift ends to give the extra time for microseism to die down.

Other than that, we had a lockloss that seems to have been caused by high ground motion at EY and that kind of correlated with an EQ that happened while secondary microseism and high winds were present - LL tool marked it with the WINDY tag. Lockloss alog 83257. The lock acquisition was fully automatic and only took 1hr 17 mins including initial alignment.

On the bright side, the wind has died down significantly.
