The unlock due to bad weather was not associated to the limited range of the actuators, as happened other times. When the wind increased and reached 50 km/h in a few minutes, WE_MIR_CORR increased, but not enough to stay so close to the saturation (fig 1). The unlock happened during a clear drop of the sidebands, at the end of which some longitudinal loop was not very stable anymore (fig 2). The drop was associated to a misalignment of BS TY (fig 3) and PR_TY (fig 4). It is not clear to me which was the first which began to move, and what was the cause of this motion.
