[Geysers] Giantess Start Time, 10/14

[Michael Goldberg]

I am going to push again to call the October 14 Giantess start time at 
04:48 MDT.  The seismic signal at that time looks much more like the one 
that accompanied the July 6 eruption at 07:13.  Both seismograms are 
attached for comparison.

According to the USGS earthquake catalog, the event at 07:02 MDT was a 
magnitude 2.0 earthquake in the vicinity of the Heart Lake trail.  The 
evening events also look like earthquakes, possibly part of a swarm in the 
same location (they aren't on the map yet).

The apparent activity in middle of the day is most likely caused by 
weather rather than earthquakes or geysers.
