This just trips me out! FEMA tracks natural disasters with something called the “Waffle House Index”….yes! It’s true! FEMA uses the operating conditions of the restaurants as a barometer for how well an area will recover from a hurricane, tornado or other type of hazard. Let’s be honest, when we are tired, hungry, grumpy, or otherwise….the Waffle House is always there! Scattered, smothered, and covered baby…it can now keep you safe. Find out what red, green, and yellow mean in regard to Hurricane Irma. And stay safe this weekend!
