An interesting way to start the day

As I'm trying to sleep through my alarms this morning, this loud
dinging sound wakes me up at 6:45. It's the hotel fire alarm.
Probably just some kid pulling it, right?

Not this time. They announce on the loudspeaker that "due to a severe
flood in the lobby they have to evacuate the building." It's a good
thing I had ironed my shirt the night before.

I packed up my bag for work and was about to head out when I realized
that I should probably just pack everything (which is, in fact, what
the fire department came by and told us to do). Looks like I'm
staying somewhere else tonight.

Fortunately I was able to get some pictures...
