An EF-2 tornado touched down in Fultondale, Alabama, and knocked out power to the community.

But employees at the town’s Waffle House didn’t let it stop them. They rolled out a propane-fueled flattop grill and started frying up burgers, WBRC reported.

At one point they ran out of buns, but a neighboring Arby’s gave them what they needed.
