When I asked Kromm about this many years ago, what he said amounted to 
that it only works on subjects with no gap in solid material between 
them and the earth. So victims on upper floors are safe, as are flying 
subjects, those in cars, people on the ground floor above basements and 
crawlspaces, people in cars, and those in the water but not resting on 
the bottom.

Of course, if the caster has enough energy to Entomb the entire 
building, or car, or body of water....
