I love a good disaster movie, and we had a little tsunami movie marathon this weekend. Works of fiction can often get my wheels turning about real world preparation.

The first was a movie called "The Wave", which is a 2015 Norwegian catastrophe drama about a tsunami. It dramatizes the mad dash up the hill. It's not the best movie I've seen, but it made me think about packing up and getting out quickly.

Followed that up with "The Impossible" for the second time, which scared me just as badly as it did the first time. It's about the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not something I want anything to do with.

I prefer living somewhere that has minimal environmental threats, but I was in a tsunami risk zone, that would definitely be on my list of reasons to bug-out.
