GNRC after large hurricane urban areas hit!

[CoachKandSportsguy]

Do you have a portable generator already? Considering getting one?
Have you ever been interested in a whole home standby Generac generator?

Generac stock "GNRC" is a great buy after every massive hurricane. . . check it out!

Yes, there will be another Katrina moment in FL, but the timing is uncertain. . . however, when big urban populations are hit, GNRC is a hot stock for a quarter. .

YMMV

Just for clarity, the area around where Katrina hit was described as a soup bowl....factor in a breached levy system failure etc. Where exactly in FL meets that type of topography and vulnerability? (Otherwise, I agree on the generator)

a Katrina moment is when the electrical grid is severely damaged and people had to flee the area to avoid the heat with lots of elderly not able to survive the heat without electricity. a tornado hitting / damaging generation stations, large substations, transmission towers, etc. . . all is not always flood related nor topography related as a metaphor. Electrical inventories are not sufficient to rebuild after a hurricane. Transformers are not made in mass quantities, and have limited production. . Hurricane Andrew blew out the electrical system at a networking components production building at a company at which I worked in the early 1990s in Florida, not near the ocean. a bit of an electrical metaphor, not a flood metaphor. . not a topography metaphor.

more of an investment/trading opportunity not necessarily related to FL or topography of florida.

If Florida turns into Texas I would consider one.

Not sure about an investment but I’ve been thinking about putting in a backup generator to power the whole house if something happens. We were looking into Pensacola to move to while I was working. 1 of the residents told me they were out of power and internet for 3 weeks after a hurricane hit. Can you imagine living in Florida during the summer without power? The whole house generator is a $10k investment into your house and I think it would be a perk if you were trying to sell your house with 1.
I wouldn’t want a portable generator, what good is that going to do you?

BTW: I just looked at their stock, it hasn’t done anything for the past year except to go down while other securities I had were gaining 30-100+% late last year to early this year.

Generators are fine, if you can get gas . Most gas stations need power to pump it, unless they have a generator also.... or you can get a generator that runs on natural gas. Expensive option for a mostly non event here in the Villages.

How did they survive prior to air conditioning? Be surprised what you can do when have to. The highest recorded temperatures in Florida was in 1931, 109 degrees

That’s why I’ve always respected people in say Appalachia. When the grids go down and the proverbial poop hits the fan....these populations know how to survive off grid. We’re so conditioned to the utilities that most will be a puddle of themselves if they had to wing it.

yes, you are an investor and not a trader. .

How about since Hurricane Beryl, which was the trade as specified in the OP after a hurricane hits a large urban area. .

about 135 to about 155, about 15% + in a month? annualized? 3x short term interest rates in a month?

that's an event trade. . .

Another trade?

I didn't get the company name, but an analyst was recommending water cooling for data centers companies, and there is one. . selling shovels to gold miner's trade

a AI trend dependency trade. .

...and what was the life expectancy in those days??

This is my experience with generators. While living in Charleston, SC a Big Bad Boy By the name of Hugo paid us a visit. Of course the entire city and all outlying areas were without power. Now Charleston can be almost as hot as FL during the month of September.
However, within about 48 hours huge tractor trailers came to help; their cargo? Generators, thousands of them. My husband snagged one off of a truck pulled over to unload. If I remember correctly it cost around $500 and oh yes those boys took cc's. We were insured with USAA at that time and when the agent got to our house he offered to buy it back when we were finished using it.
Hubby set it up on the back patio and it kept 3 families sane until power was restored.
The neighbor behind us had a 97 yr old father living with them and the neighbor beside us had 3 little girls, one of which was 16 days old. We ran extension cords so we each could have a light and refrigeration and a fan. My children went up and down our street collecting crock pots. I cooked beef stew in 10 pots and the kids delivered them in an old Red Flyer wagon. Thanks for reading!
