3. Maybe only for some. I was watching Wolf's show yesterday on CNN.

The night before he got a call from a woman who said she was at the Ritz Carlton with 300 others and no way out without help. well, as soon as she got off the phone with Wolf, the National Guard and other agencies saw the show and went into overdrive. The next night she called Wolf's show from Baltimore Airport. All the people had been moved from the hotel to Houston and she was able to make it to Baltimore in 1 day. Meanwhile, the "calvary" was just starting to arrive at the Convention Ctr. when she was calling from Baltimore. I guess youronyourownistan doesn't happen if you stay at the Ritz Carlton.
