Waffle house index

A scale created by FEMA used to determine how bad a situation is.

Green: Normal day, serves regular menu

Yellow: Using the generator/limited food supply, serves the limited menu

Red: YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO FUCKING PRAY (Things are bad, Waffle House is closed)

"Hey man things are really getting bad out there"

"Is it really? The waffle house index will determine that"
