              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Well the storm didn't disappoint... We had gusts of 80mph and sustained winds of 50mph. It looks like it knocked down a lot of trees in Cloudcroft and the town is without power. We are currently on generator power and were not able to open tonight.
At one point during my Q2 training this afternoon, we conducted test slews with the breaks in place and the azimuth reported a motion error. The stop button for collisions was illuminated but there wasn't a collision. I reset the controller and everything seems fine.
