From watching the tsunami videos, one major issue is the debris in the water. If a 10-foot wall of water - terrifying enough - hits this, the pod will pop up and float on top. The occupants will probably lose their lunch, but not their lives.
If the water rises more slowly - well, 1 foot per minute is darned fast but not the same as being hit by a 10-foot flood - the story is even better.
But if a 10-foot wall of jagged wood, metal, cars, and mud hits this, I don't know how well it will fare. I suspect it'll be torn to shreds before too long. Heck, the 2nd scenario, as rosy as it sounds, might be less so if the water has enough debris.
I hope I'm wrong ... I haven't read every page of the site so maybe he's addressed the latter scenario. Or, maybe he just plans to address the first 2 scenarios since it's possible, and in the 3rd everyone's screwed anyway.
