| Comments: | Major eruption in the early afternoon of 17 December 2018. Will modify posting if/when more info. is available. Anomalous discharge spike at Tantalus Creek consistent with a Steamboat eruption. Spike appears at about 1330 on chart (is this government equipment off by an hour?). Maybe 1 to 1.5 hour lag between eruption and discharge spike (?). Inferring eruption at about 1200 to 1230. Update at Old Faithful web camera chat page: "Robert Cash just confirmed a steam phase returning from Canyon this afternoon." Update at Geyser Gazers facebook page: "Xanterra tour guide - saw water phase i.e. 1415." Update: reported stream gauge lags range from 45 to 95 minutes, so Steamboat's eruption may have been anywhere between about 1155 to 1245. See attachment. |
