Eating in the Lower Store when the "Water rising..." call went out -- thanks, Tara. As things got better, I ate hurridly but was still in front of the store when the eruption started.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If not previously reported, August 27 at 1143, normal function roughly 40 minutes after the start of Grotto. Others will have the details, but at approximately 9 1/2 minutes into the hot period, Mastiff dropped but Feather, Satellite, etc. continued and then Bijou came on strong. Giant began vertical surging that grew stronger, until boom.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG SRC="cid:X.MA1.1156723339@aol.com" style="WIDTH: 480px; HEIGHT: 237px" height=237 width=480 vspace=5 comp_state="speed" DATASIZE="34466" ID="MA1.1156723339" ></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
