Agreed, a 12 foot flood at work is not realistic for me. I'm at 300 ft sea level on top of a glacial tarn, my house is at 150 ft sea level on the slope of another tarn 7 miles away. But I'll go along. First half hour spent calling home and to misc. family, begging them to get into a high building to meet the expected flood height. Second half hour moving to the second floor at work and opening the door to the rooftop. Raiding the kitchen for soft drinks and some additional water in whatever I can fill. Then move up to an office on the second floor or rooftop, with my office and my car supplies, and wait and watch. Drive - drive where? To high ground, to my home which according to you would be 200 feet underwater in a half hour? Also the campus my work is at has only 3 major exits to the arterial roads, and only 2 connections to nearby freeways - prior experience in actual emergencies like snow storms has shown that those choke points gridlock pretty quick. No, I'll shelter in place, and hope for the best.
