From yesterday's update https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hans-public/notice/DOI-USGS-HVO-2025-07-09T18:27:16+00:00

"Episode 28 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began just after 4 a.m. HST today, July 9, 2025. High fountaining is continuing at this time, with maximum fountain heights reaching nearly 1200 feet (365 meters)."

Vegas schmegas.
Your agonizer, please.

I've been informed that people may be getting testy about my comments about Vegas and may not have any idea what I'm on about.  To clear the air, these little mini video windows as appear in my browser on my laptop, don't communicate any sense of scale at all.  To me they could look like lava lamps, bird baths, Vegas fountains, something on a hillside, something on a proper mountain, something at the crest of Mt. Everest, or something on Olympus Mons.  Additionally, I misread someone's initial comment that they may have thought the plume was too small.  My reaction was waaaat, it looks big enough to dominate the Vegas strip.  But I didn't say that explicitly, because I didn't think there was some reason I should have to.

Anyways, please know that people don't react to visual stuff in front of them the same way, for a whole bunch of reasons.  It's not like there's a human up there for scale.

-Looks like the former vid has wrapped up liveness, and the second has just smoking going on.  Oh pooh.

I'm tempted to deliver a hundred cracks about Old Faithful, another point of comparison that was initially on my mind.

Upper vid live again now, and currently a better view - still mostly smoking, but you can see the lava flows downhill...
