One of the metrics that FEMA uses to determine the scale of a storm and the amount of disaster recovery assistance needed is The Waffle House Index.
Yes, Scoutmaster. This time was not kidding. The information I had was courtesy of a former Army Person whom happens to be my primary doctor. He hates me and loves my wife. I understand though and my doctor and I get along fine. He (my doctor) is very informed and shares many stories with me when I visit him. He is more informed than I. I understand how unbelievable I sounded with all the kidding I do but for this one was serious and knew my doctor would not lie to me. Realize my information is regional and does not apply nationwide.
