The day my sourdough starter exploded all over the kitchen ceiling

I had this jar of starter on the counter that I been feeding for like 2 months. Forgot to loosen the lid before I went to bed last Tuesday. Woke up at 3am to a loud POP and found sticky dough goo dripping from the light fixture. Still finding little dried bits in random places 4 days later. Has anyone else had a starter get that violent on them?

Learned that lesson myself years ago when a batch of rye starter blew the lid clean off and stuck to the ceiling like some kind of doughy spaceship. Now I always leave the lid just barely cracked and keep the jar on a tray just in case.

Mine painted the kitchen cabinets with a fine layer of dough last Tuesday.
