Until it erupted they didn't know it was a volcano. The total event started with an earthquake about 3 days before the final eruption and they were use to earthquakes. When it did finally erupt they didn't have a chance. The pryoclastic cloud took less than 5 minutes to cover the entire area and it buried 2 cities as well as changed the coastline.
