Have been checking the facility since Nolo has mostly passed. Outside the facility looks exactly like it was left on friday except a bit wet. Inside, Pspt dome had a lot of water on the ground towards the South of the building. Seem some of it came from the area above the East facing door as the ceiling there is still dripping water. East facing windows didn't seem to leak this time, so everything under them is dry. Upper dome floor was completely dry, there was only a little bit of water on the rubber skirt which is under the track towards the South of the dome and some water just under the lower shutter. Instruments/spar looked dry and free of any moisture. Going to start/continue mopping up the water in the Pspt dome. Roughly 2.5 gallons of water was mopped up.

No data today; cirrus in the early morning and then chasing sucker holes rest of the time. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
