I would be very surprised if the text shows up correctly on all browsers and devices, but it’s readable on my PC (Firefox and Windows 10). ---

The text is very small and difficult to read on Chrome, but I do have an odd craving for waffles. 😃 ---

FYI, the Waffle House text shows up as a bunch of numbered boxes on my work computer (windows 7 / Firefox). ETA: It shows up as empty boxes on Chrome on the same computer. FEMA has what it calls the Waffle House Index, which is a fairly crude but surprisingly useful metric about how an area is doing after a disaster. GREEN: full menu - restaurant has power and damage is limited or no damage at all. YELLOW: limited menu - no power or only power from a generator, or food supplies may be low. RED: the restaurant is closed - indicating severe damage or severe flooding The full Wikipedia article on the Waffle House Index is here: [Waffle House Index - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index) ---

On my work PC, that shows up as a row of question-mark diamonds with a huge jumbled undecipherable mess underneath. In other words, I’d call it Waffle House Red. ---
