What do waffles have to do with severe weather safety?Everything apparently.Believe it or not, FEMA depends on Waffle House to gauge just how dangerous conditions are during hurricanes.It's called the “Waffle House index.”It has three levels: If you see a Waffle House that's open and has a full menu, the area is in the clear.If it has a limited menu, people should probably start making safety plans. That means the restaurant either has no power or is running on a generator.And if it's closed, there's likely severe flooding or damage in the area and people should get to safety. Waffle House locations rarely close, so it has to be a really extreme case of severe weather.“We may have to shut some restaurants down,” says Pat Warner, the director of public relations and external affairs for Waffle House. “That's a little tough for us because all our restaurants are 24/7. We don't know how to turn things off so we really have to shut down a restaurant in an orderly fashion.” Waffle House has a storm center outside of Atlanta. That's where the company tracks the storm and sends out information to its restaurants.But it also has people on the ground looking at conditions. Those people are the ones who have a more accurate view of what's happening and help decide when restaurants should close.Waffle House is prepared with a jump team that actually takes over for regular staff during a storm. This helps restaurants to continue operating while employees go home and stay safe with their families. 1522

UPDATE: President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn will not be sentenced Tuesday. Original story: President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn said Tuesday in a federal court that "I was aware" that lying to the FBI is a crime.Flynn pleaded guilty a year ago to lying to federal investigators and is being sentenced by Judge Emmet Sullivan of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, who has had very strong words for the defendant."I want to be frank with you, this crime is very serious," Sullivan said. "Not only did you lie to the FBI, you lied to senior officials in the incoming administration.""All along, you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser to the President of the United States," Sullivan said. "That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out."Flynn has cooperated extensively with special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and at least one other Justice Department probe. It is also possible that Flynn "is continuing to cooperate with the government," prosecutor Brandon Van Grack said Tuesday.Flynn has given Mueller a key witness on some of the most scrutinized moments during the Trump campaign, transition and first month in the White House -- while also turning the former Army lieutenant general into a political cause backed by conservatives wary of Mueller's approach.Trump himself wished Flynn "good luck" in a Tuesday morning tweet, adding that it "will be interesting to see what he has to say."Despite Flynn's admissions that he lied about three things -- including policy requests he made to then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the transition -- Mueller's team has asked the judge to sentence Flynn to minimal or even no time.Three previous defendants in Mueller's probe -- Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen, the Dutch lawyer Alex van der Zwaan and former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos -- pleaded guilty to the same crime of lying. Each received sentences that included prison time. But none of those men helped investigators as broadly, willingly or sincerely as Flynn, Mueller's team has said.Another defendant, former Trump campaign deputy Rick Gates, also pleaded guilty to a lying charge in Mueller's probe. He continues to cooperate with the investigation and has no set sentencing date.FBI's approachFlynn's sentencing has been shaded over the past three weeks by criticism of the FBI's actions when it first approached him in the White House on January 24, 2017.Flynn's defense team first raised the issue in a memo to Sullivan last week. The defense lawyers argued that Flynn should be spared jail time because he had lied under different circumstances than van der Zwaan and Papadopoulos, who had been warned they could be prosecuted for lying to the FBI.Flynn spoke to the FBI agents with no lawyer present and hadn't been warned of the potential legal consequences. He also did not involve the White House counsel's office, and the FBI did not involve the Justice Department in his interview.Flynn was so relaxed, investigators said, that they did not have the impression that he was lying during the interview, according to memos from the agents. Even so, the FBI knew that when Flynn said he hadn't asked for certain responses from Kislyak to the American sanctions against Russia or a United Nations Security Council resolution, he was lying.Tuesday, Sullivan asked Flynn's attorney Stephen Anthony if the former national security adviser was "entrapped by the FBI." Anthony said, "No, your Honor."Another FBI memo about the January 24, 2017, interview, released Monday night, further solidified that Flynn wrongly denied he had tried to influence the Russian government's reaction to sanctions and intentions at the UN.Flynn first met Kislyak in 2013 while director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and he had developed the relationship with the Russian government since then. Court documents made public last year show that members of Trump's transition team knew about Flynn's requests to the ambassador a month before the inauguration.Flynn is also central to the potential obstruction of justice case surrounding Trump's interactions with former FBI Director James Comey. According to a memo Comey wrote in February 2017, the President asked him to drop the investigation into Flynn.Mueller's team has described on multiple occasions how Flynn misled members of the Trump administration about his contacts with Kislyak, which then prompted those public officials to share false information with the American public.Turkey projectAside from Flynn's conversations with the Russian, he admitted to lying about his lobbying work for the Turkish government as it sought to build American support for the extradition of a cleric and political opponent living in Pennsylvania.Flynn's two former business associates were indicted by the Justice Department on Monday for working on this project, which included Flynn authoring an op-ed in a Washington newspaper that sympathized with the current Turkish government and demonized the cleric. The op-ed published on Election Day 2016. The former business associates also accepted payments for the work through Flynn's company, the Flynn Intel Group, according to the charging document.One of the men, Flynn Intel Group co-founder Bijan Rafiekian, also known as Bijan Kian, appeared in a Virginia courtroom Tuesday and plead not guilty to charges of conspiracy and illegally acting as a foreign agent in the US.The other defendant in the case, a Dutch-Turkish businessman, is charged with the same two crimes plus lying to the FBI. The businessman, Kamil Ekim Alptekin, lives in Istanbul and has not appeared in US court. 5843

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A dozen people were killed Friday in Virginia Beach, Virginia, when a longtime city employee opened fire in a municipal building. This is what we know about them. 197

Washington is on the brink of a partial government shutdown, with funding set to expire for several key federal agencies at midnight on Friday and no guarantee that lawmakers can come up with a plan that President Donald Trump will support to extend the rapidly approaching deadline.For now, it looks like the President is unwilling to back down from his demand for 378

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders suggested Tuesday that the White House has found an alternative way to get its requested billion in funding for a US-Mexico border wall, marking a reversal from President Donald Trump's previous position.Sanders indicated that the White House could support a compromise bill to avoid a partial government shutdown later this week."We have other ways that we can get to that billion (for a border wall)," Sanders said Tuesday morning during an interview with Fox News."We will work with Congress if they will make sure we get a bill passed that provides not just the funding for the wall, but there's a piece of legislation that's been pushed around that Democrats actually voted 26-5 out of committee that provides roughly billion for border security including .6 billion for the wall," she said. "That's something that we would be able to support as a long as we can couple that with other funding resources."Sanders added: "At the end of the day, we don't want to shut down the government, we want to shut down the border."Last week, Trump told Democratic leaders in a televised meeting he was willing to shut down the government over the border issue."I will take the mantle of shutting down, and I'm going to shut it down for border security," Trump had said.Sanders appeared to suggest that the White House could support a bipartisan Senate bill that would fund the Department of Homeland Security, which the White House rejected earlier this year.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer initially offered this as an option to avoid a shutdown, but said last week it wasn't on the table anymore because it couldn't pass the House. That was in part because House Democrats are opposed to the .6 billion is wall funding. It remains to be seen if White House support for the legislation changes the Democrats' calculation.CNN has asked the White House for clarification.Sanders said the White House has "been in continuous conversations" with Republicans and Democrats on shutdown negotiations, with talks happening as recently as Tuesday morning. But that comment that appeared at least in part at odds with Senate Republicans who on Monday told CNN that they 2228
