3 prediction markets price this story:

Before Dec 31, 2026 — the market puts it at 2%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if a named storm called Isaias makes landfall or intersects Alabama between now and December 31, 2026, with sustained winds of at least 74 mph reported in consecutive National Hurricane Center advisories. The two advisories must be issued no more than 12 hours apart and include latitude and longitude coordinates rounded to the nearest 0.1 degree.
Before 2027 — the market puts it at 6%, with $83 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a hurricane with winds of at least 74 mph hits Hawaii during the 2026 season. It resolves to No if no such storm occurs in that specific year. Readers often mistake the linked story's immediate threat for the final resolution, but only a landfall within the 2026 season counts.
Category 4 or higher landfall — the market puts it at 1%, with $162 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a Category 4 or stronger hurricane makes landfall in Florida (excluding the Keys) between October 6, 2026, and December 31, 2026. The outcome depends on an official report from NOAA's National Hurricane Center confirming the event within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the start date for October 5 or assume any wind speed qualifies without a confirmed landfall.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
