FEMA uses waffle house to guage storms

I saw this on the news. Perhaps storms should be graded on the waffle scale instead of the fujita scale. They could be categorized as W1-W5. Example: Hurricane Leroy made landfall this morning and is currently a category W4 storm....


FEMA uses Waffle House to gauge storm severity
Oct 7, 2016 03:28 PM
(CNN) - FEMA has what might be considered an unusual way to unofficially predict how bad a natural disaster could be.

It's called the "Waffle House Index." Any time a Waffle House shuts down, it suggests a really bad storm with devastating effects on the economy.

"In Florida for a long time one of the things we kind of observed was Waffle Houses were usually the first things opened - if they even closed," FEMA administrator Craig Fugate said. "And so if a Waffle House is open, we knew it wasn't too bad to keep going. If it was open with a limited menu, we probably had a lot of power outages and needed to be prepared to support mass care."

And they have great food. And you can tell them Leroy sent you.

And, they are one of the best places to see female Sasquatches.

Red necks, white socks and PBR.

I have received numerous messages and personal emails concerning my visits to Waffle House Restaurants. I was even accused of never setting a foot in a Waffle House, being a paid spokes person and worst of all, I do not like their food. Well Boys and Girls, here is a photograph of my beautiful and charming wife Betty and I at our local Waffle House Restaurant in Georgetown, KY.

Before me on the table is my favorite meal. Steak & Eggs. Steak medium rare, eggs over light, hash browns scattered and soft, whole wheat toast and a yet to be delivered Pecan Waffle. And of course, Black Coffee. My wife likes the bacon egg and cheese biscuit with hash browns.

Ms Sasquatch had the day off.

The restaurant recently had some upgrades. New Ceiling, Lighting, a new Heating & AC System and they changed the grease in the floor.

What more could you ask for!

Next time you come to visit Georgetown, Kentucky, stop by, the restaurant is just off I-75 at exit 126. Odds are you will find us there. Enjoy a great meal, the cook is Bubba Payne. Belching is expected, breaking wind will get your behind put out on the street.

Hey Leroy, I was looking for you at Knob Creek last week.


You should have seen all the Deplorables! Deplorables with lots of cash!

What or where is in Knob Creek?

You must remember that I am an older gentleman man. However, I still remain extremely charming and I have still retained all of my rugged good looks.

So, what is the explanation of the use of the word Deplorables in your last sentence? Just curious.

How did you manage to get a 25 year old wife?
