A small update to [The Galactic Current Sheet Micronova Hypothesis](https://relay.orly.dev/blossom/065abdbcc97e98702382f4aee052975f302bdb995e8aec642e0dbb9533997602.md).

This adds a section describing all of the measures one should apply in order to survive such an event. Pretty much, Ben Davidson has been saying this for some time now—what you should be doing if you don't intend to be swept into the deep ocean from the two worst parts of the event.

The oceans spill over the land on the way up, and then drain back down. Wind speeds can reach 1,600 km/h, which is faster than the speed of sound.

Anything above ground in this situation—even if high enough and far enough inland—is going to be abraded intensely by dust and even larger particles hurtling in the opposite direction of the crustal slip. Your bunker has to be, ideally, fully sealed up, and the opening should be some distance from the opening to the surface, ideally such that most of the high-speed winds that penetrate are caught in the reticulation of the entry tunnel.
