Thank you !  Enjoyed this very much.  I was stationed in Naples for 3 years and visited Vesuvius and Pompeii many times.  Always amazed at the power and destruction of Mother Nature.

Chilling to watch, but nicely done.  Thanks for sharing.

My wife uses all those above descriptions to compare my bowels' reaction to us dining at the local restaurant serving the cuisine of India.

Thinking it about it for a minute, it could be described in the grand scope of things as nothing more than a giant f@rt from Mother Earth. ???

Feel free to discuss it amongst yourselves.

Good animation.

Thanks for the post. An excellent reason to consider not living near any volcanic mountain. Yellow Stone area also comes to mind.
