First off, if you're in the path of the hurricane. GTFO ASAP.
Just get out! Stay safe. Your life is more important than any material possession. God protect you all.
2nd off.
Two major hurricanes hitting roughly the same area just weeks apart is going to multiply the devastation. It's highly probable that many counties in Florida will be completely uninsurable following this. This will create many insurance losers and other winners.
3rd off
This will have ramifications across the market.
Energy prices will shoot up and stay higher for longer. Oil prices are already up significantly since the Iran missile attack and hurricane Helene just in the last couple of weeks.
Expect energy prices to stay higher for longer.
Hurricane Helene is estimated to have caused so far 50 billion dollars in damages. These losses are expected to be compounded by Milton. Which is already stronger and larger and is strengthening even more as it approaches Florida.
4th TLDR
How the F do I as a regard trade this?
$GNRC Generac for generators.
$URI United Rentals, folks are going to need to rent all sorts of things. From pumps, generators and equipment.
$HUBB Hubbell for electrical infrastructure that will need to be rebuilt across Florida and other states.
$XLE & $XOP oil & gas ETFs due to the sudden drop in supply that these hurricanes have caused, leading energy prices to rise.
Karma is real. This is not intended for folks to profit off other people's suffering. The purpose is to know how to react accordingly when something big like this that is outside of our control. If anything, if you make money off of this please consider donating to the victims of these weather events.
God bless & stay regarded all.
