Description

You can't hide down from a tsunami, you have to go up. From a hole in the sand to a sand hill, a solid tower that cracks, and finally a real tsunami tower: an open ground floor the wave flows straight through, deep piles in the clay, thick round columns, a wide ramp, and a roof built higher than the biggest wave expected.
