How to drive away from a tsunami

How to drive away from a tsunami

Unless you're being warned several hours in advance, it's true that driving away usually won't get you anywhere. The wave hits land at 500 or so mph (obviously it slows down after that but still).

If you only have a few minutes, or even half an hour, get vertical. Take the car (or bike!) to the edge of a cliff or hill or tall, concrete building and climb.
