Hurricane Matthew has been called a 'once-in-a-lifetime' storm in which evacuation is a matter of 'life or death'.
But it was only when Waffle House announced it was closing 25 locations that many Americans decided the storm must be really bad.
The beloved 24-hour restaurant chain is famous for staying open during natural disasters, so much so that even a 'Waffle House Index' was created.
FEMA unofficially uses the index, color-coded much like country's terrorism threat advisory scale, to gauge how severely a place was hit by a natural disaster.

There are many, many people who visit the Waffle House, and like it.
It was not built for vegetarians and health nuts. They don’t serve tofu.
There is one near where I work, and you can’t find a vacant seat in there from 10am until about 2pm. There’s a medical complex near there and most all of the employees eat lunch there.
On long trips, especially late at night, WH is a godsend.
They must be doing something right.

Family tradition.
I eat at WH every now and again but it’s tradition for our family that when we get a snow storm that shuts down the town we jump in the 4x4 and run to WH for a nice meal.

Oh, yes. Nothing like eating breakfast when it is snowing. We use to do it all the time - when younger.

Years ago, wife & I stopped at a Waffle House in eastern Missouri. I placed my order and heard the watress call out to the kitchen: “Flip, it, dip it. Nip it, clip it.”
I never understood what her coded order represented...

The Waffle House on Route 59 in Mandeville didn’t shut down for Katrina and was the only place in the New Orleans area where relief workers could get a hot meal during most of September 2005. When the power grid went down, Waffle House’s electric generators came on and they stayed open through out the disaster.
If Hurricane Katrina couldn’t shut down Waffle Houses and Hurricane Matthew can, it does indicate Hurricane Matthew could be a disaster of Biblical proportion.

“Gun free” zones that are constantly robbed by punks with guns.
No wonder they’re closing.
