Time magazine claims the government uses Waffle House restaurants to gauge damage following a natural disaster. FEMA says, “Waffle House Index gives a green light when a full menu is being served, yellow means a limited menu due to a loss of power and red means the restaurant is closed. If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That’s really bad. That’s where you go to work.”
