The clock is ticking?

A new assessment has been made of the likely outcome should Vesuvius erupt, and it has suggested that the whole of Naples and Salermo are now in the "firing line" as it were.  So we're talking of many millions of people being at risk.  It's the best part of twenty years now since my wife and I holidayed in Sorrento and when we woke up in the mornings we were able to look from our bed across the bay and see Vesuvius - best view ever.  I remember we were told back then that scientists reckoned they could give about 10 days warning of an eruption - problem was that it had been calculated that even under ideal conditions the authorities would only be able to evacuate some 30-40% of the affected population in that time.  Sobering thought. And of course Vesuvius is well overdue for an eruption.  Keep your fingers crossed!
