Volcanos

I count four burn-throughs around the north vent.  -The first doesn't seem active since daylight.

I do wonder where all that's going...

[Buster's Uncle]

I do believe this counts - happened while I watched.

[Buster's Uncle]

Unless I miss my guess, this'll blow out the north vent hole a lot bigger...

From today's update:

"Episode 36 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at 11:15 a.m HST on November 9 and is currently fountaining from both the north and south vents."

[Lord Avalon]

Interesting double fountain out of the north vent.

[Buster's Uncle]

I suspect that blowout happened at 11:30.

[Lord Avalon]

I wonder if the height will top the last episode. South vent really shooting high.

[Lord Avalon]

Another vent near the south vent?

[Buster's Uncle]

Something seems to be going on at the south vent, too, yeah <- I tried to post that a half hour ago.

[Buster's Uncle]

Rain again.  Interesting.

Looks to me like the south vent had a wall collapse towards the north vent, and then on the opposite side.

[Lord Avalon]

Perhaps. There was mention a while back of other vents besides the north & south, but it wasn't clear to me exactly where those were.

From the end of episode update:

"Episode 36 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption ended abruptly at 4:16 p.m. HST on November 9 after just under 5 hours of continuous fountaining.

The north vent stopped erupting at approximately 3:38 p.m. HST. The south vent dropped from 1000 to 500 feet (300-150 meters) around 3:48 p.m. HST and held steady for a while. The south vent slowly declined and eventually stopped erupting at approximately 4:16 p.m. HST, marking the end of the episode. Lava fountains reached a maximum of 1000-1100 ft (300-330 m) during this episode. The episode 36 fountains lasted for just over 5 hours and produced an estimated 10-11 million cubic yards (8-9 million cubic meters) of lava. The combined average eruption rate was over 650 cubic yards per second (500 cubic meters per second) from the dual fountains, which is the highest effusion rate recorded during this eruption. Lava flows from the fountains covered about 60- 80% of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu crater."

...

"The Uēkahuna tiltmeter (UWD) recorded just over 23 microradians of deflationary tilt during this episode, following the beginning of fountaining at 11:19 a.m this morning. this morning. The end of the eruption was coincident with a flattening of summit tilt and a decrease in seismic tremor intensity. Past episodes have been followed by rapid inflationary tilt, and we expect that change to occur soon."

[Buster's Uncle]

I wish they'd hurry up zooming the cameras back in.

[Lord Avalon]

Maybe they're working their side hustles.

[Buster's Uncle]

It appears the north vent hole is considerably bigger now.  Who saw that coming?
