Pompeii under the weather

In AD79 Vesuvius erupted and buried the town of Pompeii in ash and pumice. Over the last few hundred years we have been digging it up to find out most of what we know about life in Roman times. But ... the recent bad weather has sped up processes that have been happening ever since we  to excavate the site: weathering and erosion. 
Will Pompeii survive?
