[Geysers] Large eruption of Bank Geyser.

In the 1920's and 1930's, Bank (it was called Top Cutter at the time) was
seen to erupt as high as 20 feet.  I have seen a few that were maybe as high
as 6-8 feet in the late 1990's, but nothing much larger than that.

My dad (Dan Hatfield) saw a single large eruption of Bank during my folks'
trip during the first 2 weeks of July.  He saw it from the south side of
Daisy, as a single, voluminous burst that "got at least 15 feet above the
hillside."  This means he couldn't see Bank's actual vent from there given
his line of site, and that the eruption was thus significantly higher than
15 ft.

 

Walking down to investigate he noted a flood of runoff downhill from Bank,
but nothing else out of the ordinary.

 

We've all seen Bank's usual 4 foot stuff every few minutes.  Has anyone seen
bigger stuff?
