What if the water cuts out for the county due to some issue (improbable but not impossible) guess what? SHE READY.

[@TobiAnimados]

I think this is a great idea and a very effective one. Some people think the ball would get irremediable lost in the ocean, but in a big tsunami I think is more probably that the ball would get stuck in land very far from the shore, and, since it floats it probably would not get buried. There were plenty of images of ships stuck in land and even on top of houses in Japan's Tsunami. Yep, also tons of debris end in the ocean, but I would rather take the risk and try this pokeball than nothing.

I think her odds of survival would be greater if she headed for the hills as soon as she heard a tsunami warning, rather than jumping into her giant Tide pod. Watch some of those Sendai quake tsunami videos. Trying to ride that out seems suicidal.

Maybe for some tsunamis, but when the eathquake happens on the Cascadia fault line, the tsunami will hit Washington 4 minutes after the earthquake. I doubt she will be able to get high enough to survive in just 4 minutes.

A lot of people say she is being too afraid. I think it's the opposite. The reason she'd pay so much money is most likely because Tsunamis are likely to happen in that area or something of the sort. The fact that she says she feels safe and comfortable when she gets inside the pod is pretty brave if you ask me. Judging by most people's reactions including mine, I'd be more terrified about being in a tight space for an extended period of time while also being tossed around and possibly sucked into the ocean.
