(I can't believe no one has posted this yet!)
That 18 were closed was a post in NautiNurse’s hurriacne thread, but no story link.
I want to know that status of the stores tomorrow at, say, 10AM in the FL panhandle and SW GA.
It’s serious when Waffle House closes.
For some reason this makes me think of this joke:
It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn’t tell what the weather was going to be.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”
“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed,” the Meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.
One week later he called the National Weather Service again. Is it going to be a very cold winter?” he asked.
“Yes,” the man at National Weather Service again replied, “it’s going to be a very cold winter.”
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?”
Absolutely,” the man replied. “It looks like it’s going to be one of the coldest winters ever.”
“How can you be so sure?” the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, “The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.”
What has six legs and three teeth?
Midnight shift at Waffle House!

I was watching the live storm chaser streamers driving around today and the Waffle House in PCB appeared undamaged.
I heard that the wind was so bad that one guy’s chicken laid the same egg three times.
I don’t know its that bad based on one reading. I’m gonna hold out for the IHOP index.
Pretty bad indeed.
And this from Waffle House I can believe.
TV weather, not so much.
TV news, not at all.
Darn, now I want a Waffle. I already own a House.
Maybe Waffle House just doesn’t want to serve Jim Cantore....
I will not stop picketing FEMA till all Waffle Houses re-open
