I have seen it erupt from an empty pool and have two bursts. That shocked the heck out of everyone. But yeah I have also seen it throw mild water after an eruption. but never 200 feet high as it did last time. Scared the crap out of my dad and I when were walking past assuming it had already done. <br>

<div><br></div> This is normal post-eruptive behavior for Grand. Every so often it catches someone by surprise because no one--well, almost no one--deliberately goes to Grand 15 minutes to an hour after the end of an eruption.<div>
<br></div><div> Immediately after an eruption, Vent and Turban may either continue or quit. If they quit, they will restart exactly as the visitors described a few minutes later--first Turban, then Vent. Grand usually splashes from an empty pool on and off for a good while after an eruption--this is called "afterplay." If Vent and Turban don't quit at the end of the eruption, and afterplay begins faster than usual (it usually takes about 15 minutes), it can build into a full eruption from a low pool. This is an afterburst. Multiple afterbursts have been known to occur on the same eruption.</div>

could catch and evening light Grand after dinner tonight. We walked to Castle
and over, so if it erupted we would have thought we should have seen and heard
it. We didn't. Sawmill Group was in a deep drain - my notes say at 1920. We
spent a few minutes at Spasmodic because of the steam spray coming out from the
right vent. Then we headed over to Grand. When we got there, Grand's pool was
empty - like after an eruption empty. Vent and Turban were ie - Vent was tall.
Rift was off. West Triplet was standing at half full, calm water. Percolator was
off. But Grand was sending up jets of water that barely reached the top of
Turban's eruption. I took a video and photos. <br><br>I asked a visitor that was
already there if they saw Grand erupt, and they said no. They saw it two days
ago, so they knew what they should see. They also said that Vent had just
started - at ~1920ns and that they thought Turban was already ie. Finally
