"A cloud of unusual size and shape" was sighted overtop Mount Vesuvius by Pliny the Younger's mother around noon.

Ash came out from the eastern part of Mount Vesuvius.

Ash fall was accompanied by white pumice, which accumulated 10 to 15cm per hour. This resulted 280cm thick of pumice at the end.

Roofs started to collapse due to heavy weight of volcanic ash and pumice. The sky was covered by toxic gases, resulting no natural lights to show guidance. In the dark, citizens of Pompeii sought for shelter and ran towards the harbour.
