<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3449160, member: 82616&quot;]Interesting you should mention precursor phenomena before the main eruption. The volcanic evidence does show there was indeed a small initial ash fall due east of the crater, distinct from the main pumice fallout which was oriented south. It would&#039;ve have been easily viewed from Pompeii the morning of the eruption, perhaps as a curiosity. The water supply to the town was interrupted a few days before the eruption and there were increasing earth tremors, all of which would indicate to the inhabitants something was not quite right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
