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

When Don Grundmann took the podium to boos and jeers at a Modesto City Council meeting Wednesday, he appeared angry that some people had called his efforts to organize a "straight pride" event in the California city racist.He singled out Councilmember Kristi Ah You, accusing her of "pulling the race card" and allegedly inflaming tensions by "attacking us as racists."Then he appeared to make a slip of the tongue."We haven't done anything," he said. "We're a totally peaceful, racist group."The crowd erupted in laughter.As Grundmann tried to regain control of the room, he said his group was "here to defend all races" and claimed that Planned Parenthood was the "greatest mass murderer of blacks in this nation's history."Shortly after, he was told his time was up and the crowd booed as he left the podium.Grundmann, who previously ran two failed campaigns for the US Senate, leads a group called the National Straight Pride Coalition. It claims on its website that heterosexuality, the nuclear family and Western civilization, among other institutions, are under attack.The group is planning a "straight pride" parade in a local park on August 24.Modesto is home to about 214,000 people, according to the latest Census.Dozens of residents voiced oppositionOver more than four hours, almost 30 constituents spoke against the event. A handful spoke in favor of it, citing free speech.Matthew Mason, a Modesto native and Turlock resident, called event organizers "white supremacists.""I'm here to condemn the straight pride event and to unequivocally state that this white supremacist rhetoric is not speech that deserves protection," Mason said at the meeting. "Whenever this rhetoric is given a platform, violence always follows."CNN has attempted to reach Grundmann but was unable to leave a message because his voice mailbox was full. He has not responded to an email request for comment.Marjorie Sturdy, vice president of the Modesto Progressive Democrats, also voiced her opposition at the meeting."You've never heard of anybody losing a job because they're straight or white," she told CNN. "You've never heard of anybody not being able to obtain a job because they're straight. The entitlement of being straight and white shouldn't be celebrated. You get to celebrate that every day of your life."Sturdy said that the Modesto Progressive Democrats are teaming up with local community groups to organize an event on the same day as the "straight pride" parade. She said it will include music, speeches and prayer."It'll be a colorful, fun, celebration of life," Sturdy said.The 'straight pride' event needs city approvalThe City of Modesto said it hopes to decide on the "straight pride" application Friday.Thomas Reeves, spokesman for the City Manager, told CNN that officials are evaluating the risk to the city, residents and participants.He added that the city's final determination would not be an indication of where it stood on the issue."Whatever decision is made on the permit is no way is a reflection of the city's perspective, opinion or views on the issue," Reeves said.In late June, a "straight pride parade" planned in Boston on August 31 became 3183

USA Swimming sent a letter to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee formally asking Team USA to request that this summer's Olympic Games be postponed due to the spread of coronavirus. Meanwhile, Japan and the International Olympic Committee pressed forward with the buildup to the Olympics. On Friday, the Olympic Flame landed in Japan as the 2020 torch relay began. Whether coronavirus still poses a major threat in July and August is still debatable, many athletes would have been set to undergo Olympic qualifying in the coming weeks. Nearly 43% of all spots are still up for grabs in this summer's Olympics. USA Swimming CEO Tim Hinchey said it is time for the IOC to put forward a concrete timeframe. "Everyone has experienced unimaginable disruptions, mere months before the Olympic Games, which calls into question the authenticity of a level playing field for all," Hinchey said. "Our athletes are under tremendous pressure, stress and anxiety, and their mental health and wellness should be among the highest priorities." 1057

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he's considering a full pardon for former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about dealings with Russia’s ambassador before Trump took office. Flynn tried to withdraw the guilty plea in January. He said federal prosecutors had acted in “bad faith” and broke their end of the bargain when they sought prison time for him. Prosecutors had initially said Flynn was entitled to avoid prison time because of his extensive cooperation, but the relationship with the retired Army lieutenant general grew increasingly contentious after he hired a new set of lawyers. 658
