If Waffle House Is Closed, It's Time To Panic
The storm team examines what worked and didn't after every disaster, each time learning new lessons. In Hurricane Katrina - when they closed 107 locations in Mississippi and on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain - roads were so bad they stashed supplies in a refrigerated semi-trailer with armed guards, and fuel so scarce they brought in their own tank trucks. When Katrina struck in 2005, Twitter had not yet launched; now Bruner uses it not just to alert customers to closings, but to crowdsource whether roads are open and where the power is on. |
