Dec 11 1981 - no time noted - Fireball has gotten very periodic instead of this summer’s low perpetual splashing. Water is splashing 10-12” high in surges lasting 1-2 minutes with ~ a 15 sec pause between series. We saw 12 series & it was still going strong when we left. 198º The whole geyser’s eruption seems much more powerful than what it was this last summer. Go Fireball! |
