News folks are so funny... this is totally normal for Yellowstone geysers. It's just not something that happens every day or with warning.

Part of #BiscuitBasin, just north of #OldFaithful, is closed after a hydrothermal explosion Tues morning.

Hydrothermal explosions occur when hot water creates bubbles of steam, leading to underground pressure that eventually bursts through the surface. …It’s not unlike the steam that builds up inside a sealed pressure cooker.

A geothermal explosion in Yellowstone's Biscuit Basin happened today!

I'm really hoping this didn't damage Sapphire Pool, which I've always thought was the best pool (besides Grand Prismatic). From the footage and reporting, though, I'm afraid it may have been very nearby, or even Sapphire itself that exploded. 😢
