Are hotels safe during a hurricane?


Are hotels safe during a hurricane? The highest winds occur between the 3rd and 10th floor, so a basement or an underground garage would be the best place to stay unless the hotel is near the ocean, where total waves and flooding might occur. Stay away from windows and outside walls, because they could break or cave in.
