NO! NO! NO!
They don't need to walk faster. They need to start walking sooner!

In order to escape safely from the everyday dangers of zombies and tsunamis, stay in shape. That should be part of every preppers commandments.

Or you could live hundreds of feet above sea level and hundreds of miles away from the nearest ocean as I do.

There was a much higher fatality rate for those walking in the wrong direction.

That’s the first I thought of.

Emergency preparedness experts generally agree that after the quake and tsunami, most roads will be too damaged for driving, so people will have to walk to safety. Ever get into a crowd all moving the same way (evacuating an event like a concert or sporting event)? Ever notice that some people stop or walk against the motion?
Magnify that by 100.
And a stampede that encounters some stopage or slow down would increase the body count (not from the storm, either).

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.
To: Vigilanteman
Careful now, .gov might announce that you live in a flood plain and your land could be under the threat of tsunami or .gov taking said land.

To: Citizen Zed
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...
To: Citizen Zed
Hmmm.... IIRC, tsunamis are faster than I can actually run, and possibly drive on a non-straight road without traffic congestion.
To: ansel12
Duck and cover would save even more lives in a nuclear blast, and people mock the heck out of it for some reason. Ultimately duck and cover works for some lower yield nuclear bombs (or in the outlying region) and doesn't work in other instances. I agree that the mocking was generally misinformation.
