You bring to mind a question I've had for a while. Namely; How well do emergency power transformers. That kick in when one's power goes out? How well do they work under a 15 foot storm surge?

🤔 💭 🦧 🙄

Not very well !!

I've got everything buttoned down. Keets inside the shed. Generator on standby. Whiskey & ice. Now, if this damn Milton would just get the hell out of here. Good luck fellow storm victims. See you on the other side.

[What Is the Waffle House Index?​

The Waffle House Index is an informal metric used to gauge the severity of natural disasters, particularly hurricanes, based on the operational status of Waffle House restaurants in the affected area.

The chain is known for always staying open so closures or limitations in service are seen as indicators of how severe a disaster might be.


The index was coined by former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator Craig Fugate, and has three levels:

Green: The restaurant is fully open, operating with a full menu, indicating that the area is not significantly impacted.

Yellow: The restaurant is open, but with a limited menu. This suggests there may be power outages, water issues, or supply shortages in the area, but conditions are still manageable.

Red: The restaurant is closed. Since Waffle House almost never shuts down, this indicates severe damage or unmanageable conditions in the region.]

How Waffle House helps Southerners — and FEMA — judge a storm's severity

For some residents of storm-prone Southeastern states, the best indicator of a hurricane's severity can be found at the local Waffle House.
