Or they could run if they look funny walking fast.

Aren't tsunamis like bears? I don't have to walk faster than the tsunami, I just have to walk faster than you.

What if they didn’t live on the coast? That would solve two problems. One, tsunami survivability. Two, liberalism. Liberalism seems to affect people on the coast, so if they moved inland, they would regain the use of their faculties and become conservatives.

Wait - do you walk toward the wave or away from it? Or just get on your treadmill and walk and the tsunami goes away? I’m so confused...

Hmmm.... IIRC, tsunamis are faster than I can actually run, and possibly drive on a non-straight road without traffic congestion.

The government will soon justify telling you where you may live because of perceived risks you pose to the safety of society.

I’ve done it on several occasions on Oahu. With the lead times given several hours in advance you don’t even have to hurry. You can walk pretty leisurely to get to higher ground. Probably 30 minutes to get out of danger at a leisurely pace. Even if you’re out of shape, and with the advance warnings available, even an hour to get to higher ground is doable.

If you’re in your car, no chance. The traffic jams arrive early.

When the big wave hits, just jump up. Problem solved.

When there is a tsunami approaching, walk fast. Walk very, very fast. Don't be looking at your cellphone. Keep your eyes straight ahead and concentrate on the back of the head in front of you.

I’m reminded of a coastal community in Humboldt County. The highest point in town is a 25 foot high sand dune about 100 yards from the ocean. The Feds demanded that they do Tsunami planning, and one wag suggested that it could be a one page document reading, “Run For Your Life!!!”

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) - About 5,500 more people could survive a major tsunami hitting the Pacific Northwest if they just walk a little faster to higher ground after roads are knocked out, a new study shows.

They needed studies to figure out what the average 5 year old could tell you - scientists and experts are not what they used to be.....
