In a sign of the severity of Hurricane Ian, Waffle House told NBC News on Wednesday it had closed 21 Florida locations that are in the path of the Category 4 storm.
Waffle House spokesperson Njeri Boss said in an email that most of the affected locations were in the projected path of the hurricane, with a few others in low-lying flood zones., 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.”
