something consulted the waffle house. explain that? one of the things we observed, waffle houses were usually the first things open, if they even close. the waffle house was open we knew it wasn t too bad. keep going. open with a limited menu, a lot of power outages and needed to support mass care. if the waffle house is closed, a bad indicator. i believe waffle houses are closing in advance of the storm. so in florida, i think that helped a lot of people understand that nobody was kidding around. this storm was bad. we ve had disney closed, college football games cancelled. so a lot of people taking steps to get ready. all of the science in the world. sometimes make it personal and bring it home. craig fugate thanks for your time on this busy day. appreciate you joining us to give us the latest. this storm barreling towards jacksonville moving up the florida coast and smaller coastal towns also hit hard. talk to the mayor of st. augustine.
