Early estimates indicate there could be as much as $50b in damage. According to weather nerds, this isn’t going to be the Al Capone’s vault of hurricanes. It will be the real deal. Don’t be an idiot. Abandon your mosquito infested hell hole and drive up north, where the air is brisk and the people intelligent.
As an aside, this is likely to be a boon for GNRC and a sundry of building material stocks, such as BECN, PGTI, USCR, PGEM, OC and LPX — amongst others. Losers include UVE, ISCA and DIS.

Thanks for inviting me to your house in Jersey but I will stick around and protect it from looters, price gougers, and bears.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Circus markets got lots of tricks but dollar keeps chugging upwards and bonds keeps fading.ss pm’s slide down and equities does its levitation last to know routine.
not to mention crude above $50 wtf
I’ll cover the $50 bucks in damage myself.
One of my brothers lives on the beach in Jacksonville. He left for Ocala yesterday.
He thinks his roof will be gone when he gets back.
I’m watching the Weather Channel now.
The ratings would zoom if the Weather “lady” was wearing a bikini and talking while hanging onto a stripper pole (my wife didn’t think it was a good idea).
The last hurricane I went through in Houston (Ike), the power in our neighborhood and several other areas was out for about a month. Nine months later, the labor & delivery hospitals reported a large increase in births. Apparently, TV (or internet or possibly A\C) inhibits reproduction.
If you find yourself in that eventuality, please stay calm. If you need a book, I recommend “The Evolutionary Psychology Behind Politics,” by Anonymous Conservative. When the looters come, aim center mass and let fly.
No problem there.
I’m pretty close to Medicare (as is my wife).
She is already hassling me with board games (can’t stand them).
I think it’s the internet that inhibits reproduction in that guys rest their laptops, tablets on their laps which has to lower the quality of the sperm. We need a study.
Well, I hope you survive the board games and the hurricane. Don’t let Mrs. Tradercaddy win!
HD was up 2% today in sympathy for FL. Too bad their chart sucks.
My estimates are a more conservative $20 in damages.

PWR will benefit from the hurricane, definitely.
