A bunch of tourists with I phones filming everything - dang it was bad and I immediately thought about the pyroclastic flow. It is estimated the people in Pompei were hit with 1500 degree 200 mile an hour wall. I knew the folks on the island were in a world of hurt. Their flow was cooled by a lake and was only 200 degree steam. Well that removes all unprotected skin...
A pyroclastic flow is a dense, fast-moving flow of solidified lava pieces, volcanic ash, and hot gases. It occurs as part of certain volcanic eruptions. A pyroclastic flow is extremely hot, burning anything in its path. It may move at speeds as high as 200 m/s.
