Stage 1: The volcano will rumble without erupting. Next a large smoke "cloud" rises over it. This is called the Plinian Stage. During this stage there is A LOT of dust, ashes, cinder, and rocks falling from Vesuvius. This stage might last for hours or even days! The amount of dust, ashes, cinder, and rocks can cause roofs on houses to collapse and fall in.

Stage 2: Super hot cloud of steam and mud flows down the side of Vesuvius and Covered Herculaneum.

I don't really know if the rest of these stages are in order but i do know that there are many pyroclastic surges that causes the earth to shake and toxic gas to flow out and choke victims that are too close to the volcano. There are clouds of toxic gas and smoke and hot mud that flow and race after the people at over 65 MPH (miles per hour)! That's too fast to outrun so while some people were trying to outrun these "clouds" they would most likely die! In the end Pompeii was covered in 8-10 feet of ash and debris!
