Well, that's why it would need to be a really deep one. Maybe with a sheet of lead for the ceiling :) But we (here in North America) are not going to get the flash this time (according to Ben). I went to the S0 event in Charlotte last month, and he discussed that the locations on Earth that take the direct flash, as well as the location that takes the impact of the blown-off outer solar shell move around the Earth in the same predictable pattern each cycle (presumably identified by the geologic record). If he is correct, then Europe & North Africa are supposedly going to take the flash this time, and the western Pacific will get the impact events (North America got it last time). So, for those in North America, at least, that's "sort of" good news...

I don't believe it is predictable where the flash or impacts would hit.

I do believe it would move, but I suspect it would be fairly random.

I cannot be convinced of predictability of locations.. Too much speculation involved.

Gmma rays go right through lead unless it is super thick, like a foot thick. 2 feet oof water is pretty good, like one of those really cheap plastic-bag swimming pools with a frame that people put in their back yards, that don't last long...
