Watery wipeout 

Posted on May 13, 2026 by Grubb

In one of the video viewing rooms at the FENIX there was an ongoing loop of tsunami footage captured by residents trying to outrace the wave. I suppose the idea was that the instability of the ecosystem is another factor (besides drought conditions) that has to be considered in the rise of migration around the globe.

Here comes the wave
There goes the house

In the future I wonder if the screen in this room will feature Floridian estates being washed away. And perhaps in the section of the FENIX devoted to a photo exhibit of heroic escape from hellholes there will be families hanging onto fleeing golf carts. Like the man hoping to get to Zagreb hanging for dear life as he tries to climb in the train window, only picture someone overweight in a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops.

Florida man shouldn’t attempt this
