Waffle House has a reputation for keeping its stores open during severe weather to act as emergency shelters of sorts. They say you can predict how bad a storm is going to be by how many Waffle House locations in the area stay open. Waffle House is taking this responsibility very seriously, and responded to a (now deleted) post by The Weather Channel, which was tracking Hurricane Isais, but not to Waffle House's standards.
@weatherchannel Hey TWC! Unfortunately, this tracker is inaccurate and an unverified website. Here is our latest status map as of 5:30pm EST. https://t.co/UjlByOYb6d

Again, The Weather Channel deleted its post, so it's likely Waffle House had a point.
@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel Waffle House embarrassed the @weatherchannel so bad they deleted the original post.

@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel When @WaffleHouse has to slap the @WeatherChannel during a storm, and TWC then deletes their inaccurate post with no apology, no acknowledgement and no explanation, you know who to trust during a hurricane. #TrustWaffleHouse

@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel Worked hurricane ops for 20+ years and it always calmed me when I arrived at ground zero and could hear the Waffle House generators humming. I would set up my EOC there and give them 24/7 security 🤣🫡🇺🇸🤙🏼 https://t.co/IjbX9ZNMq8

@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel Waffle House shaming TWC into obscurity.

@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel Wife is outside Rucker hunkered down. Told her to check with Waffle House whether she should bug out.

@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel Put TWC in its place! Also can I get a Texas bacon egg and cheese melt with double extra bacon and hashbrowns peppered and country.

Someone asked @grok to pull up The Weather Channel's original post, but once it's deleted, it's gone for good.
@WaffleHouse @weatherchannel We need a link @WaffleHouse, seriously 😂
