Wow.
Check out
Pliny's description (letter LXV) of the Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii (or rather Robert Harris' re-telling in the novel
Pompeii) for a more extreme example.

Meh. to tell you the truth, don't bother with Pliny, just go for the Robert Harris version. He's fleshed it out a lot more than I remembered.
