She was informed that this was the fire alarm and she was to evacuate immediately. When the hotel alarms were triggered my mother thought it was her alarm clock, and she called front desk complaining that she couldn’t turn it off. We had of course booked our own hotel that evening, and we were all in fact sleeping soundly just minutes before, but currently there were a few hundred people braving the winter conditions in their pajamas as firefighters streamed into the building. Snow was accumulating on the ground and my family, collectively my parents, wife and son, were walking between the hotels in the immediate vicinity asking if they had any available beds for the night. The temps were just below freezing, with a stiff wind gusting over people. It was 1:30am on Wednesday, March 21st and we were in Knoxville, TN.
