How many floors does that hotel have? If at least 3, and preferably 4 or 5, then he should likely be ok, unless there is a tornado. With 5 floors or 4 and an attic level the lower 2, or at most 3 would see the flooding, the roof might come off the top one, but the 3rd or 4th floor should be fine. It is amazing what people have survived before, even if they had to cling to logs for 12 hours. Its the elderly, infirmed, and kids that are at most risk.
Hey, at least they have Shep now on the Claymation Cam.
