Outside of the window from my room, I could see the streets of Canterlot devolve into sheer chaos as ponies of all the three different Races were running around, some even shouting in hysterics. Even within the castle, when I tried to get a hold of someone, anyone, to explain just what was going on, I was met with guards and the castle staff running all over the place, looking much too preoccupied to bother.
