The Waffle House Index

[95 Vol Alum]

One might assume it is a corollary to how the UT football season is going for VN. But, in reality, it is a metric for FEMA to measure hurricane damage.

One of the ways the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) measures hurricane damage is by the Waffle House Index. Waffle House, a popular 24-hour fast food chain in the Southeast, has a unique ability to operate solely on gas if necessary, so a closed Waffle House is often tantamount to disaster.

Waffle House’s resiliency is a great source of satisfaction for people. The Galveston employee told Yahoo Finance proudly, “When nothing else is open I’m going to tell you the Waffle House is open.”

Over the years, FEMA administrator Craig Fugate noticed this phenomenon following hurricane damage and developed the Waffle House Index. “Green” is full menu, “yellow” is partial menu, and “red” means there may be no Waffle House left.

Dispute resolution is important. I just hope those from the Firestorm thread get settled before this hurricane hits full blast.

CBJ constantly preaches Waffle House resiliency. Anyone know how the eye discipline is for the individuals creating complimentary meals?

Truth. During the great flood of 1994, the only restaurant open in all of downtown Macon was Waffle House.

I've noticed a few old WH buildings that have been rebranded Mr. Waffle. Seems like easy pickings for an IP lawyer.

Hash browns, simply the best.

I'd like to see a Waffle House defense. We want the other team's offense scattered, smothered and covered!
