Where should you go if gravity pulled sideways?

+0
−0

If the entire Earth's gravity immediately shifted so it was pulling from East to West, what should people do? Keep in mind that this is not reversed, but merely tilted sideways, and maybe at an angle slightly downward so that everything doesn't just fly off into space. Would it be better for everyone to stay put, or try to find a common meeting place. My initial thought was the Svalbard seed vault or some place similar, although there would be terrible constant rainstorms (the oceans would be falling), and it might become so icy that travel would be nearly impossible. How long could anyone survive, and how should they do it?
