    Tsunami video from inside car

    What would be the best course of action in this scenario?
    1)Stay in the car: you eventually sink or get jammed up in/under something.
    2)Exit vehicle for higher ground: You run the risk of being much more vulnerable outside of the vehicle.
    Looks like a shitty situation either way, but having even the vaguest of plans beats nothing.

    I would get the heck out of the car as cars first started washing down the street and heel toe expressed it to the tallest building around!

    It's terrible of me to crash the thread with this, but almost every vehicle in this video is one of three Honda models or a truck, and all of them apparently still function while full of water.
    Back on a serious note, I'd probably be running like hell.

    It must be some kind of dash cam that was left running, my first thought was that someone was filming it. I was tipped off by the audio absence of someone freaking the hell out.
    My experience tells me:
    Earthquake=no building
    Tsunami=tall building
    Earthquake/tsunami=???

    Earthquake = take cover to protect yourself from falling objects...wherever you are
    Tsunami = Higher ground, not necessarily tall building. (of course, depending upon where you are and what environment you're in)
    Earthquake/tsunami = since tsunami comes AFTER the earthquake, if you know that the earthquake was that big and has the potential to cause tsunami, then....RUN LIKE HELL to the higher ground. Any place solid and higher.
