Hundreds of people remained under evacuation orders Wednesday more than 24 hours after they were forced to flee over fears a Midtown high-rise would collapse — including hotel guests completely caught off guard. Cris Stennett, 47, a public health researcher, said she learned about the evacuation early Tuesday as she stepped from her hotel room’s shower and heard firefighters pounding on her hotel room door. The firefighters gave “like 30 seconds” to get out, forcing Stennett to leave behind her ID and several other necessities, she said.
