Pyroclastic flows can reach up to 700 km/h (450 mph)
Deriving from the Greek pyr (“fire”) and klastos (“broken in pieces”), pyroclastic flows are clouds of gas and volcanic matter that spread across the ground after a volcanic eruption. They can even cross large bodies of water, and can reach temperatures of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).
A pyroclastic flow would not suffocate you, because you would be incinerated before there was time to breathe.

Volcanoes: An Overlooked Nuisance
Nature recently did a book review on Adventuress in Volcanoland, by Tamsin Mather. The basic message is, volcanoes are nasty, and we have to expect many more eruptions. Mather is a volcanologist, and I have met some of them. It is a job that requires great care. The primary method is listening; when magma moves around under the Earth it makes sounds. The more dangerous part of the job is to…

'Huge' explosion rocks St. Vincent as volcano keeps erupting
Government officials were scrambling to respond to the latest eruption on Monday, which was even bigger than the first eruption that occurre
Supervolcanoes are believed to have a lifetime of millions of years during which they can have several super eruptions.
The eruption was on such a huge scale that the toxic gases from Toba were ejected through both the hemispheres of the Earth's atmosphere, causing them to spread all over the world. It is thought to have created a volcanic winter on Earth lasting years, and significantly altering the climate of the planet.
