Mother Nature: SURPRISE IT'S A WAVE POOL!

My house creaked from an earthquake that was 100 miles away once. Apartment over a detached garage, I'm pretty sure I'm going to die here.
tooomanysteves
Pretty good demonstration of a tsunami, too.

What is the official "worst case scenario" book esque thing to do in this situation?

Best wave pool ever

Also known as a Haitian Wave Pool.

Is the safest place to be during an earthquake?
snowb1sp19
Whoa, that's not what I expected
Kiwiwhovian
That would be amazing
MesserAuditore
OK I actually kind of chuckled at that.

Hey that actually sounds like a goo-- NEVERMIND!

That perfectly describes how I experienced this post.

Remind me to show this to a client whenever they complain about the seismic bracing system I put on their indoor chemical storage tanks.

As if black people didn't have a hard enough time swimming as it is

Now you see how tsunami's happen. Imagine the ocean being thrown around instead of a pool.
matyles
where I live tsunamis are possible but rarely form, even after a massive quake offshore. We had something like 6.4 not long ago
tooomanysteves
Agreed
IllegalDuckling
That is actually really damn educational.

I feel for the first time that I understand what an earthquake must feel like. Movies suck at portraying them!
matyles
the most surprising thing about them is you can hear the bedrock grinding
killerswan
That looks waaaaay bigger than the biggest california quake I've been through, but you're exactly right. Like being at sea.

Infinity pool, at the top of a building, during an earthquake? Annndd... now I have a brand new phobia, thanks.
agumonkey
I believe I can fly
Macalucifer666
TBH that's probably the safest place to be during an earthquake.
bobthebuilder707
You'd probably be safer in another place not experiencing the earthquake
SuckAnElf
I dunno elementary school drills taught me under a tiny desk is tinge safest place. Logically speaking I think an empty field would be.
SuckAnElf
Tinge? Really autocorrect? That was supposed to read "the"
killerswan
Depends on whether there's a glass ceiling or wall nearby, maybe?
tats10bucksUOme
Looks scary but idk, relatively safe place to be in the event of an earthquake, so long as you keep your head above water
Qualtagh
Naaaaah debris knocking you unconscious=drowning. I'd much rather take extra bruises and lower drowning risk.
MAN9000
Unless the Earth swallows you whole.

Sooooo... Little risk of shark attack?
Hyero
Tsunami sharks could be a possibility.

What about when the giant crevices open up at the bottom and you get sucked down into the abyss .

So it's better to be in the middle of the ocean! Thanks
switters810
Yes. If you were in the middle of the ocean on a boat, a tsunami wave *might* slosh the drink in your glass.
Millillion
Unless it's a hell of a tsunami. But by that point you may not want to make it back to land anyways.
adunazon
Yeah, actually. The tsunami waves will roll right underneath you!

Seems like a day at a beach to me. I'd rather be in this than in a building during an earthquake
barnwolf
Ya surprisingly. I bet you're generally safer in the pool than in a building though. Maybe not for an indoor pool though.

There's a scene in Passengers where the artificial gravity disappears while JLaw is in the pool.Almost felt like I was starting to suffocate
