“A 2,300-year-old drainage system carved into bedrock beneath Pompeii will be used again to divert increasing rainwater into the sea.”

I thought the rain stopped in Europe due to Global Warming.

IIRC, it was Herculaneum that was hit by pyroclastic flow. It was Pompeii that was buried in volcanic ash.

Only about 2000 people died in 79 AD. The rest evacuated.
