Hurricane Isaias: Waffle House Index real thing; social media on alert

Social media is currently on alert regarding the Waffle House Index during Hurricane Isaias. The 24-hour diner is widely recognized for remaining open at all times, which makes its closure a significant indicator of severe conditions. Because the establishment typically maintains constant operations, any decision to shut down is viewed as a sign that the situation is going to be bad. This index serves as a real-world metric for assessing the impact of the storm.
