Tremor amplitude of Piton de la Fournaise during the first 12 hours of the eruption (OVPF)
The volcano observatory reports that both tremor and lava effusion rates have been dropping, first rapidly after the first, most intense two hours last night and more slowly since.
Short chronology of the eruption so far:
At 18:50, a long fissure starts to open near Piton Rivals southwest of Dolomieu crater.
The fissure gradually opens up sections further upslope, at 18:59 and 20:09 local time.
Another fissure opens between 21:15-21:30 in a different area of the Enclos, northwest of Dolomieu under Bory crater. This fissure only emits a small and short-lived lava flow.
After 22:00, the initially high tremor & effusion rate (with relatively tall fountains) drops by a factor or 4, and has now stabilized in a slowly decreasing trend.
