Oklahoma – When the main US federal emergency agency arrives at the scene of a disaster-hit area, one of the first places it turns to is the local Waffle House – and not just for its officials to grab a quick bite.
Craig Fugate, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, came up with the idea of the “Waffle House index” as an informal way of measuring the impact of a disaster.
The chain, which has a large number of branches in tornado-prone areas, has a robust emergency management plan.
The index has three levels.
If the local Waffle House is up and running, serving a full menu, a disaster is classed as green. If it is running with an emergency generator and serving only a limited menu, it is a yellow. If it is closed, badly damaged or totally destroyed, as during hurricane Katrina, it is a red.
But the Moore, Oklahoma, tornado was classed as a yellow on the Waffle House index because managers were hoping to get it up and running soon. Full Article

Florida – WBBH NBC News-2 in Fort Myers reports that Shirley Ann Duncan has agreed to a plea deal and will be on probation for three years and must pay back her victims — members of her church.
Duncan had told members of a Port Charlotte church that her three sons were killed in action in the Middle East wars — and her fourth injured son was not expected to live.
She later told the congregants that son died in October, according to a news release from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.
When the church asked the 49-year-old North Port woman for documentation concerning the deaths, she presented a fraudulent letter supposedly from the Secretary of War and signed by Adjutant General J.A. Ulio, informing her that a son was killed Aug. 13, 2010, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives said that General died more than 50 years ago. Full Article

USA – Did you know that under the Military Code of Justice the U.S. Army can’t suspend pay for an employee who has been accused of a crime unless he is proven guilty?
And it’s the reason why Nidal Hasan, the accused Fort Hood shooter, has been paid more than $270,000 by the U.S. government since the Nov. 5, 2009, mass shooting that left 13 dead and 32 injured, NBC DFW reports.
“If Hasan had been a civilian defense department employee,” the report continues, “the Army could have suspended his pay after just seven days.”
And if you think it’s outrageous that Hassan has been receiving paychecks while he awaits trial, keep in mind many of the soldiers wounded by his alleged rampage are still fighting to get pay and medical benefits given to those wounded in combat. Full Article
