   People are keeping a close eye on Waffle House as Hurricane Florence churns toward the East Coast — and there's a weird reason why

   The Federal Emergency Management Agency has an unusual way to track the severity of a natural disaster, and it involves Waffle House restaurants.
   
   The chain, whose restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is famous for staying open during many natural disasters. When it closes, that suggests an event was especially bad and likely to have devastating effects on the economy.
   
   Because of this, FEMA internally uses an unofficial "Waffle House Index" to track potentially dangerous events.
   
   "If a Waffle House store is open and offering a full menu, the index is green," a 2011 article in the magazine EHS Today says. "If it is open but serving from a limited menu, it's yellow. When the location has been forced to close, the index is red."
   
   This doesn't just show FEMA how quickly a business might rebound, it also shows it how the larger community is doing.
   
   
   
   Herpes Mike is in trouble for the next couple of days as he sees his dating meeting places shut down. He will, on the other hand, save $10 in gas money for each missed date.
   
   DHers will get this. NISers won't.

   Purplehead (a woman on DH) met Mike at a Waffle house and asked him to pay for her $10 gas money it cost her to get there and back.
   
   That's back when gas was $4 a gallon, these days it would have only cost him $6-$8

   What's so bad about that? I once got a blowjob at a playground for like, 3 lines of mediocre Coke by a mother who was there WITH HER CHILDREN.
   
   Waffle house date sounds awesome.

   You really have to be familiar with the characters involved.
