No, but the emergency has to have been officially declared to do so,
doesn't it?

No. Stations that are sudden storm or eartqhake zones, or where industrial
accidents have happened to cite examples, can use discretion. Many of these
are never declared emergencies (like the Nortridge quake in 1994)

Which is not to say that it wasn't, but it seems to me Cindy
was hundreds of miles off the coast when Ron posted this, and thus Mobile
wasn't yet in a declared emergency.

I've been in a half dozen major hurricanes in Puerto Rico, and, while always
at stations that had same day and night facilities, know preparations for
them begin 48 to 72 hours in advance. A strike threat would be enough to go
to the best mode of operation possible.
