I’m keeping it light today. Hurricane Milton, now a Category 5, is gearing up to make landfall on the west coast of Florida. It’s another true catastrophe in the making. They say to get prepared, but Delray doesn’t have the same flat beaches like the west side of Florida, where the water can move unimpeded. My house is 12 to 14 feet above sea level—the water would have to cross over the intra-coastal and keep going.

The latest reports are saying that Milton will go straight across the state, north of us. But anyone who's been through one of the big hurricanes knows that a direction change can happen fast. The next time someone says there’s no global warming, I swear, I’ll punch them in the face.

Hurricane Milton, set to make landfall tomorrow, is being called "a historic, once-in-a-lifetime storm for Floridians" by AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porte. Crazy stuff.

In the end, the markets were weak. As for the ES, it was "sell every rally" until late in the day. Volume was lower, with only 1.46 million contracts traded.
