pulling quote from the article.

""In Grays Harbor County in Washington state, crews will begin building an elementary school gym this summer to double as a "vertical evacuation center" — built so that 1,000 people can flee to the roof during a tsunami, protected by a high wall.
"We have no natural high ground," said Ocosta School District Supt. Paula Akerlund. "So we have to evacuate vertically.""


I get the logic of going up to avoid a tsunami; I just hope they build the sucker pretty darn strong- I would hate to climb on the roof of a building 10 minutes after an earthquake...
