Waffle House Index

The remains of a Waffle House in Biloxi, Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina

Wikipedia explains:

The index is based on the reputation of Waffle House for having good disaster preparedness and staying open during extreme weather, or reopening quickly afterwards.

If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad...
— Craig Fugate, Former Head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency

Waffle House seems to be an Eastern US thing. I think I stopped at a Waffle House once. I wasn't impressed. This tune sums it up pretty well.
