[Geysers] Morning 1040 06/21/12

[Grover Schrayer]

Back in the early 80's, when Morning had a very good active period, on
certain eruptions it would do something that Paul Strasser and I
called "Granding". In the middle of an eruption it would suddenly kick
into rapid-fire jetting that shot the water up in a tall column of
jets that was sustained for several seconds.It looked and sounded like
Grand, and created the tallest eruptions we'd seen.We theorized that
when earlier observers reported 200 foot heights, it must have done
something similar to the "Granding".
