Lava and deflation, looks like the next episode is here.

Alas, the one year anniversary celebration ended a little early, not even making it through to sunrise.

Here are the two Big Island Video News reports, practically back-to-back:

Pistoning is still ongoing. Lots of magma upwelling but no fountaining yet…

 

[meStevo]

Yeah, it's been pretty. This was occupying one of my monitors pretty much all day yesterday.

The North Vent has been putting on quite the show in the last fifteen minutes. The South Vent is still cycling. If I was going to call it, I'd say the North Vent started at 08:13 HST.

 

[meStevo]

Yup, and now episode 40 begins! Funny, this is the first episode where I refreshed the tilt meters and saw it there before I saw the live feeds.

 

[Foxbat]

Wow! Looks like the North Vent had its plug yanked at 18:04 HST. One second it's there, then poof! Gone but for the smoke…

Yesterday's Big Island Video update:

I've been watching the Fuego volcano in Guatemala livestream from time to time. A pretty explosive display a few times an hour, more showy in the dawn and evening hours.

Good video on changes observed in the patterns over the last month / months / year.

The drops in deflation on this kind of unusual buildup compared to prior episodes is often tied to quake swarms mentioned in the video. Last night precursory overflows started.

[Foxbat]

Wow! Up to 500 meters (1,600 feet) high fountaining!

​

Mrs. Foxbat got quite the Birthday gift! (actually, it was me that got the gift, she was more )

 

[meStevo]

A couple of friends lucked out, they're there vacationing.

Looks like Pele pulled the plug on Episode 41 at 19:29 HST. Big Island Video News has been busy with this episode:

I'll just say, with snow, eventually it melts.
