[Geysers] Geyser Report 1-7-06 Giant Erupts

[Mike Keller]

Windy and snowy most of the day today.

 

Giant erupted at 1858 this evening for an interval of 13.5 days.  Grotto was
several hours into a marathon yesterday afternoon.  It was still in eruption
at 0400 and 1030 today, but was off by 1310.  Based on how it looked at 1315
I would say it stopped around 1100 for a duration of 26-32 hours.  The
recovery hot period started at 1846.  For the first 4 minutes, Mastiff
played steadily between 2 and 6 feet. After a brief pause, it began surging
again, getting progressively taller, until it started erupting at 1855.  The
tallest jets reached about 40 feet.  Giant started at 1858.  The clouds
broke and the moon came out about 5 minutes into the hot period-very cool!
