With respect and syrup, this dude hacked the Waffle House website as a hurricane barreled toward his home in Florida:

The Waffle House Index is an (incredibly) unofficial tool used by FEMA to gauge the severity of natural disasters. Why Waffle House? Because they’re infamous for not closing even during the worst of storms. If the House is closed, that means things are getting real. The problem with the Waffle House Index is that there’s not really an actual “index” you can check.

What a great story! And great to hear Waffle House was (somewhat) cool about the whole thing.
