Waffle House says it has closed 21 Florida locations that are in the path of Hurricane Ian
, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has used an unofficial “Waffle House Index” in part to help assess damage in disaster areas.
"If a Waffle House can serve a full menu, they’ve likely got power ," FEMA wrote on its blog in 2017."A limited menu means an area may not have running water or electricity, but there’s gas for the stove to make bacon, eggs, and coffee: exactly what hungry, weary people need."Ian was set to make landfall Wednesday afternoon near Cape Coral, Florida, bringing 155 mph winds and up to 16 feet of storm surge to some coastal areas.
