Comment on In Search of Power, Texans Ask: Are the Lights on at Whataburger? With no working outage tracker from the Houston area’s main electricity provider, people are turning to the chain’s map of what's open

I mean Waffle House closures are how FEMA tracks hurricane damaged communities in Florida. Now we just need to figure out how to use Denny’s to show how much of California is burnt down.

That’s true, and that’s partly due to the way FEMA is organized and integrated across multiple states.

With no working outage tracker from the Houston area’s main electricity provider

That, however, is some bullshit.

  Looks like they rolled out their tracker last night. It’s available here: …arcgis.com/…/195bcf03ae0c491f9f14bf77f2c43420

    It would seem the reason is they don’t want people to see the outages. Not fixing the site is a decision. A large number of people reading these posts could likely do it in a short amount of time.

Replace dennys with In N out. I haven’t even seen a Denny’s in ages but there’s an in n out in every town

  That was my first thought, but they’re not open 24/7.
