Fan and Mortar erupted at 1020 today. It was called by Karol Slivka. Here are some details.
?
0912? First splash in Main with River off.
?
0927? Beginning of White Stuff.
?
0953? River on, splashing continuing.
?
0958? River off for River vent pause.
?
1001? River back on.
?
1003? High and Gold on.
?
1007? Angle on. Water levels were fine at first but then soon dropped to poor. When they recovered High soon became strong and steady but Gold stayed rather weak and unsteady and remained so until about 10-15 seconds before the eruption so no lock was ever called.
?
1020 Eruption started by East.
?
1036? First Pause.
?
1038? Restart.
?
1055? Last Water.
?
d = 35 minutes
?
There had been an Event Cycle on 8/22 starting around 1500 with lots of splashing in Main including lots of white stuff, but of course no eruption then.
