I dunno if it is actually true or not but it seems like a good idea as generally the Waffle House is open even when everything else is not. If I owned a Waffle House I would absolutely have emergency power ready to go.

This is very well known in the southeast because we gauge if a hurricane warrants evacuation by what the local Waffle House is doing. Waffle Housing is shutting down? Pack up the truck.

That's what I pointed out to family when Flo hit. My mom didn't believe me and made a bet that if it were open she'd order from them and she HATES the WH. Guess who had to get WH. Flo did put them out of business for nearly a year though.

FEMA operates out of Baltimore, on the East Coast, and probably doesn't realize that they also draw up flood maps for places where that chain does not exist. Then again, I can attest to the inaccuracy of said flood maps, so I'm not surprised.

25 states don't have these restaurants. My state has 2, more than 500 miles from me. So how does this work?

Waffle House is mostly concentrated in the southeastern portion of the united states, where hurricanes are most likely to hit. Your bio says you’re midwestern, where hurricanes extremely rarely hit (Cristobal not being strong to warrant significant damage this year)
