I've been kind of wondering myself whether this was just more of what Black Diamond has been doing occasionally since 2006. >From all appearances of both the eruption photos and the current state of Black Diamond's crater and pool, this May eruption (yes, eruption) was no different from the previous ones. And also, looking at the area right below the boardwalk near where the twin trees used to be green (and are now dead), there has been significant erosion, implying quite a lot of activity over the winter.
