Here is the aftermath of the one that partially demolished my house. We were a lot closer to the volcano than where these rather sad scenes were filmed.

This is where I was living....

I was living in Angeles with my girlfriend (later to be my wife) at the time, having moved there from Manila to run a dating agency with another Brit.
We had to abandon our place and head back to Manila, later to return to the devastation and find that the roof had caved in and all our belongings had been looted or ruined.
There was quite a long lead-up to the final massive eruption because the volcanologists had been aware of trouble brewing of course.
I do remember that we'd been experiencing record high temps (even for the Phils) a few days before...around 38C.

Okay, so not so easy to get the head around the content of the link below, but nonetheless possibly a good BBC2 program to help understand the causes of and the nature of volcanic activity in the Philippines.

I think I did because the increased activity of Pinatubo had been in the news for a week or two.
