Calling all TN peeps!

I would like to see how anyone would evacuate that place better - you're talking about thousands of people who don't believe anything is actually going to happen and they don't want to leave. The hotel was trying very hard to continue to treat everyone as guests while getting them to leave. They did a good job of it too -- yeah, they could have started screaming and cuss over bullhorns and let off sirens and start a panic. Instead they tried to make it as pleasant as going to a nasty high school instead of your cushy hotel room could be.

Oh yeah, they hadn't had power all day already (which means little/no AC in that steamy atrium) and lots of employees had been stranded at the hotel since Saturday, so they were already at the end of their ropes. But they did NOT show it at all, even to rude self-centered guests.

I think it says a lot about the qality of the management and the employees.
