              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
So monsoon season is officially here.  We had some really strong storms all afternoon, with the wind gusting to nearly 50mph and bringing strong rain and hail. It kept us closed for all of A half.  Things looked like they were clearing up but, as the clouds were coming from the east, I stayed closed until the clouds had fully cleared. When we opened the seeing was good.
No problems tonight.
