Mirroring a lot of my thoughts. It's hard to compare volume output from an eruption you can see to one that you didn't but.........
Some of the descriptions of the BIG ones, with serious volume, seem to be at lower elevations. Also, radial vents. 1868 was by all descriptions, terrifiying in the volume. It also had a BIG earthquake that "uncapped" it, unlike this one which I think was just a flurry of 3-4s.
Also, 38 years.
Since I love postulating (and flat out wild ass guessing), I'll wager we get a long (months) but low intensity eruption.
