<DIV>Not exceptional. Just before the steam phase started some jets were perhaps
120 - 130 feet high.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Basically, this was a steam phase eruption. At least from what I heard, the
return to water jetting was rather minor and did not include any truely
_intermittent_ (meaning, separated by quiet intervals) eruptions. Also, that
Giantess was about 98% done by the next morning says steam phase type (at least
dominately so).<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial

<DIV>All are different. Each one gets a 10 out of 10 for being Giantess. Any
other ranking is in the eye of the beholder.</DIV>
