You have 5 minutes until the tsunami hits.

[Ticky]

More precisely, you have 5 minuts until you need to hop in your car and drive away from the coast. Pretend you live next to the coast. As to why a tsunami, it was the best natural disaster I could think of where you have a good idea of the time-to-event. Substitute wild fire or meteor impact if you wish.

Topic Summary: What do you take?

The woman I love since in the off chance that civilization ends, money, CC's and other material goods would be of no use to me.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Wallet, dogs and hard drive cage.

 

[Mikey]

Since this is ATOT, half of us would spend 4 of those 5 minutes posting here telling everyone that a lot of umans are going to die!

 

[Bignate603]

My computer, my external hard drive, my box of important documents, our photo album, and my emergency kit I keep in the closet. It's got enough in there for me to live on my own for 3 days, food water, change of clothes, some cash.

I got evacuated because of hurricane Katrina, been there, done that. I learned. Get a cheap duffel bag, fill it with what you need for at least 3 days. This includes water, food, any medication you need, and whatever you might need to survive in your area. By three days there should be some sort of help.

 

[Xylitol]

photo album, violin, bag of family history/jewelry

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Set or two of clothes within sight, sleeping bag if I can get to it in time, and then my watch/wallet/phone combo. If I still have time, a couple of knives from the kitchen and a can of gas kept near my car with a few gallons in it.

 

[dr150]

Gum, liquor, comdoms, bathing suit, Garmin.

 

[FP]

A dump.

All is right in the world after a good 5 mins spent in the crapper.

 

[KaOTiK]

Dog, workstation, laptop

 

[Triumph]

My bug-out bag. Jump on the dual-sport and I'm gone, knowing that I have everything I need for at least a couple of days.

 

[Leros]

My laptop, my book and notebooks, some clothes.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Macbook Pro, HD cage from desktop, sleeping bag, camelback filled with water, and the camping essentials like a flashlight, rechargeable batteries, pocketknife, some clothes, both cell phones with spare batteries and car chargers, propane, lighter, and maybe my guinea pig if i have time.

Oh that and either a case of Costco water or vitamin water whichever I can get to faster.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Shotgun, bullets.

 

[Pocatello]

I don't know what good it would do, since most of the roads and highways would be packed with cars. While people sit in their cars with all of their most precious belongings, a huge wave comes, it becomes bigger and bigger, so tall it blocks out the sun...people screaming...

lol...tsunami comes at 300 miles/hr and wipes out everything within 60 seconds upto 70 mile radius. The best thing to do is to go underground or stay above 200ft.

 

[Synomenon]

Rip my hard drives out of my computer and take those, my box of pictures along with old home video tapes of family, my safe with my important documents. After I grab all those, I'll head to wherever is safe.

Hopefully your underground bunker is completely watertight.

No, but I have a house on the hill side, let me know if you want to buy it. I don't go there anymore.

 

[SSSnail]

My surf board.

 

[randomlinh]

my gf/wife/kids. my wallet. my phone. my backup drive. my camera bag. pretty much in that order.

 

[Chiropteran]

I'd grab my tsunami insurance information, my cellphone, my two pets, and I'd fill a bad with food from the kitchen that I thought would last me a few days, including some pet food.

 

[ultimatebob]

Assuming that I'm not insanely rich, I think that I'd just sit there and watch the giant wave come at me, pondering my incredibly stupid decision to purchase a home in an area prone to tsunamis.

If I was insanely rich, I'd have my private helicopter fly me out of there, and watch in horror as the folks trying to run or drive to higher ground get swept away.

 

[danzigrules]

I thought everyone on atot was rich as hell, why don't you all have a damned plane with a runway?

 

[meltdown75]

i demand one plane and one conveyor belt!!1!1
