If something like the above where to happen, caves, inside mountain crevices and cliff overhangs would be the place to stand. :)

There are a number of interesting scriptures that kinda relate and cause one to wonder if they are based on the accounts of survivors of such an event(NIV):

Luke 23:30 Then "'they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"'

Hose 10:8 ...Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”

Rev. 6:16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

He mentioned that, I’m not sure I left it in the excerpt. Dang that 300 word limit.

If you were to run with interpreting certain Biblical passages in that light, you'd discover Biblical prophecies that say the same or similar, leading to a conclusion that such occurrences are cyclical in nature and were known, which parallels other belief systems worldwide, that say similar things, but apparently from another perspective.

Jury's still out for me, but a compelling case can be made. How many times has Creation been destroyed and remade, according to some Jewish traditions, seven?
