Floating Noah’s Ark capsules are designed to save lives in tsunamis. But if 2012 snowpack levels are even a sliver of what we witnessed in 2012, we foresee a new retail trend in the works for spring. Barbecues and beer fridges not included.

From Treehugger.com: “Noah is a 4-foot diameter fiberglass capsule that can fit up to four adults. Should an earthquake or tsunami occur, people can escape into the capsule and be protected from whatever is about to go down. The capsule has been tested to withstand quite a beating, and includes a lookout window and breathing holes. It can also be located by rescuers thanks to the bright yellow color—if rescuers know what to look for.”
