That buttumes that the hotel can find anyone on their staff willing to stay and face the storm for the wages that hotels pay.
I would think that lots of high profile top heavy vehicles like SUV's, vans and the alike would get either rolled over or blown onto the shoulder of the road. Less top heavy vehicles will probablly be blown off the road. Several years ago during the "storm of the century," in 1993 I had to drive to Orlando after the storm had pbutted and I could barely keep control of the car (a Ford Taurus) due to the cross winds on I-4 (IIRC, they were measured at about 70 to 80 MPH).
Since you are (obviously) alive and (I buttume) capable of reproduction, you don't qualify.
Me either. God help those people in LA, MS and AL.
Hard to say. Hotel buildings in a downtown area that have a steel re- enforced concrete frame should have their frames survive, but I doubt that there would be any windows left. As for the limited service flea- bags that congregate around the interstates, those buildings are generally so flimsy that any storm that warrants a name is going to blow them away. -- Paul
