A Waffle House in Greenville closed on Jan. 24, 2026, due to a severe winter storm, triggering the "red" Waffle House Index.
A Waffle House in Greenville, South Carolina, closed on January 24, 2026, due to a severe winter storm bringing freezing rain and ice, marking a rare shutdown for the 24/7 chain.
The closure, part of a broader trend across 12 area locations, triggered the "red" status on the Waffle House Index—a FEMA-endorsed informal gauge of storm severity.
The index uses green for normal operations, yellow for limited service, and red for closures indicating dangerous conditions.
The storm prompted widespread travel disruptions, flight cancellations, and power outages, with the National Weather Service issuing an ice storm warning.
This rare closure underscores the storm's intensity, as Waffle House typically remains open during disasters.
