Oops, major typo, it should have been September 12, 1988. No video footage was taken that I know of for that eruption.

Worth checking YT or anywhere for footage? (And 1999, right? 1099 is a form Mastiff would have had to fill out to pay its taxes as an independent contractor) :-) Karen Webb On 10/9/2012 3:58 PM, Lynn Stephens wrote: Karen, The September 12, 1099 eruption of Giant was a Mastiff function, with Mastiff going to at least 100 feet. It was preceded by a normal hot period, with full activity from the platform vents, then Mastiff surging, but then Mastiff kept climbing even after Giant started.

For Steve: OMG do not denigrate your skills or the quality of the image!! This is stunning and glorious and we all sat with our mouths hanging open watching it. OK, drooling. Makes me wish gazers had a saying for geysers they've either never seen or missed for extended periods, similar to "Next year in Jerusalem" (said at Passover as a Jewish tradition). One question: With a Mastiff Function, is there not much going on in the platform vents at the time Mastiff takes off? Do you get sort of a normal hot period, and this starts as the platform vents die down or do Feather and friends just not start?

Years ago I made a short edited video of the September 27, 1997 eruption of Giant. Try as I might, I can't find a copy of it. As a substitute I took my recording of the beginning of the eruption, trimmed it, and uploaded it to Youtube. http://youtu.be/_uU180CpFho It was a cool, steamy morning, the sun was obscured by clouds, and the cameraman was incompetent. However, it does give one a sense of scale.

To: "geysers" <geysers at lists.wallawalla.edu> Date: Monday, October 1, 2012, 4:45 PM Just writing to ask if anyone has footage of a Giant Mastiff Function eruption? I've found the one that lasts about 4:41 seconds (you can *really* hear Rocco in the background) on YT, but it's so steamy you can't quite see water till Giant actually starts, and it's difficult to appreciate the height. Sorry, getting greedy in my old age; I was so sure we'd get a Giant in August or September (or, you know, Giantess...)
