[@brendanbeck8535]

Fun fact, there is actually an official "Waffle House Index" which was coined by FEMA in 2011 after the Joplin tornado. From wikipedia: The term was coined by FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate in May 2011 following the 2011 Joplin tornado, during which the two Waffle House restaurants in Joplin remained open.[3][10][11] The measure is based on Waffle House's reputation for staying open during extreme weather and for reopening quickly, albeit sometimes with a limited menu, after very severe weather events such as tornadoes or hurricanes. The chain's disaster preparedness measures include assembling and training "Waffle House jump teams" to facilitate fast reopening after disasters.[7] Waffle House, along with other chains (such as Home Depot, Walmart, and Lowe's) which do a significant proportion of their business in the southern US where there is a frequent risk of hurricanes, have good risk management and disaster preparedness. Because of this, and the fact that a cut-down menu is prepared for times when there is no power or limited supplies, the Waffle House Index rarely reaches the red level.[7][3]

I went through Katrina in southern Louisiana at almost ten years old. My family mobile home was destroyed and we had to restart, but luckily all of us (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc) went to my grandparents home who was built on solid ground and had generators (we were able to keep up with news and keep our food good). Majority of my parish and surrounding were out of power for WEEKS. I’m almost 28 now, wouldn’t wish that on anybody. Sending good vibes to Florida and if you are already stuck where you are, make you choices wisely, as if your life depends on it❤🫡 edit: bring your pets bruh they don’t know what’s happening and are scared!!!

[@PaulHabrelewicz-s3r]

I was on the coast in Mississippi when Katrina hit! Lost everything I owned! Everything! It’s a horrible thing to go through! When we left we ended up in Pensacola!

Been in the middle of a cat 4 in Louisiana. It's like a freight train over your home for hours. Any weakness in your structure will be sucked away. It's very intense you know the roof could get blowoff anytime. God bless yall get inland at least 30 miles. Our wind gauge broke at 160 mph for ida. Sheared a 500 foot metal structure in half.

Trust me after the eye went past Marco Island and Naples the winds are so much worse than before still having heavy gust of wind, the water was up to the top of the sea walls . Don’t know when the tide comes in but I wouldn’t be on Marco except in the house. But the whole state is being affected. It’s really strong winds. But FPL doing a great job.
