    The wind is growing stronger. But more significant is that the @WaffleHouse in Shallotte, NC is now closed. The chain is famous for its storm-hardiness, and its closure is perhaps the greatest metric that the storm is nigh.pic.twitter.com/J4ln2V72i3

        UPDATE: @WaffleHouse did not close willingly. They were told to shut by Shallotte, NC police. But when the Bojangles (@Bojangles1977) across the road stayed open, it became an old-fashioned Southern fast-food stand-off that @WaffleHouse wasn’t about to lose. They’ve now reopened!

        The @WaffleHouse staff told me “we’re here for the community.” No, they will not go quiet into that good night. They will not cede ground to @Bojangles1977. #Heroes #HurricaneFlorence

        “We fed a hundred cops in #Myrtle Beach this morning,” one @WaffleHouse employee told me incredulously. “Why would they want to shut us down?” #HurricaneFlorence

        Throughout the South, @WaffleHouse is such a good barometer of storm conditions even government agencies monitor them. #HurricaneFlorencehttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/13/us/hurricane-season-terms.html …

        For more on this, we’re going to be going live from the NBC News Facebook from restaurants in question.

        UPDATE: The @WaffleHouse in North Myrtle Beach remains open this morning even as #HurricaneFlorence bears down. And who do I meet? Barrett - the tenacious employee from Shallotte who refused to shut down as long as @Bojangles1977 was still slingin’ hash.pic.twitter.com/tVz9eLj6E5 – at Waffle House

        I asked Barrett how long they’ll keep this one open. “Till we ain’t standin no more.” These guys are like emergency workers because that’s who they’re feeding: cops and firefighters. This area is under curfew, and customers here order off an “emergency menu.” #hurricaneFlorencepic.twitter.com/P0SZlMgrlT

        Cheryl said she’s determined to keep this @WaffleHouse branch open as long as she can. “Somebody’s gotta feed all the first responders.” #Heros #HurricaneFlorencepic.twitter.com/Dgi5N5BICj

        Just this morning ran into a @WaffleHouse disaster “Response Team” truck. Response team personnel Dulane Hale was hauling three large tankers of gas to fuel up Waffle Houses that are just now reopening post #HurricaneFlorence.pic.twitter.com/LkWVZQsXR2
