On 24th of august 79 ad the volcano called Vesuvius erupted.
In the days before the eruption dogs howled and the birds were silent.
There were lots of small earthquakes days before the eruption.
A devistating earthquake struk in 62ad the town was still recovering when vesuvius erupted.
The eruption lasted for 18 hours. After a few hours buildings started to collapse under the weight of the ash.
Early on the 25th pyroclastic flows(surges of hot gases between 100 and 400 degrees C) rushed through the town. Killing anyone who was still in the town.
