RantCrush Top 5: October 7, 2016

Okay, so shit is really going down in Florida. The coastlines are getting decimated by Hurricane Matthew and people are being evacuated from their homes. AND Governor Rick Scott is not extending voter registration because a Trump presidency is the least of his problems. No one’s really concerned though because hurricanes and not voting are a way of life. People ARE really worried about Waffle House closures, though.

My house blew away? Okay. Waffle Houses on I-95 are closing? What is this hell we call Florida!

Waffle House tweeted out an announcement that it would be shutting down its locations for the hurricane.

If you don’t live in the South, you do not understand how significant this is as a threat indicator…. https://t.co/Os1Zu5TO8P

I guess people didn’t understand how crazy Matthew could be until this happened.

If you’re not familiar with FEMA’s informal Waffle House Index, this is further evidence of the severity of this storm. Evacuate if you can. https://t.co/MzAka1ClgI
