[Geysers] Giantess Start Time, 10/14

[Pat Snyder]

Michael,
Thank you for posting this. I agree with you for another reason.

I was webcam watching at 0702 (0602 where I live) and when I noticed  
Giantess, it did not have the same appearance as the 0713 Giantess on  
July 6, 2009; in fact, it took me a bit to realize it was in eruption  
because the water spikes were (at that point) more sporadic. On July  
6, I captured the start: significantly more steam and no breaks in the  
water appearance. Had the Oct. 14 Giantess started at 0702, It would  
have been much larger in the snaps I posted that day, I would have  
seen the start and I did not.

Much appreciated.
Pat Snyder
