@USGSVolcanoes At the 4 second mark the ground seems brighten up, was that the magma's first attempt to break though?
@USGSVolcanoes Were there signs that this was coming or was it a complete surprise?
@USGSVolcanoes I wish the color scale was absolute instead of relative, it makes it very hard to understand the meaning of the colors. Thank you though for this awesome imagery!
