When the heads of FEMA want to gauge the severity of a storm, they not only use the standard scientific measurements, they also use the “Waffle House” factor.
The system is really quite simple. Waffle Houses are open 24×7. So, when a storm hits an area, the number of people without power is reflected in the increase of business. And, if a Waffle House closes, then the storms severity increases even more.
I guess this is like judging the number of Super Bowl watchers on TV by the amount of water used at half time.
Sounds similar to the ideas of freakonomics.

Hello Webmaster, I noticed that http://nedandkathyswift.com/?p=4382 is ranking pretty low on Google and has a low Google PageRank. Now the Google PageRank is how Google is able to see how relevant your webpage is compared to all the other webpages online, if you cannot rank high at the top of Google, then you will NOT get the traffic you need. Now usually trying to get to the top of Google costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars and very highly optimized targeted marketing campaigns that takes a team of experts months to achieve. However, we can show you how to get to the top of Google with no out of pocket expenses (free traffic), no stupid ninja tricks, no silly mind control techniques, and this will be all white hat with no blackhat software or tactics that could possibly land you on bad terms with Google and put you in the dreaded “Google Sandbox”. We’ll show you how to easily capture all the targeted traffic you need, for free, multiple ways to land fast (not months) first-page rankings in Google and other major search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc), even show you strategies on how to earn daily commissions just try Ranking Top of Google, please check out our 5 minute video.
