Price resilience remains an obstacle for the bears. Breadth is still pretty positive, though a bit flat in the short term. NAAIM remains bullish. The options are neutral for Friday. Banks are falling off a cliff. My price targets for TNA did not get hit today, so no orders were filled.

I'm still looking for another push to the upside, but I am not sure when it might happen.

Got back home from St. Augustine around 6:30 this morning. Very few gas stations have gas in Florida. Northbound 95 was stop and go in many places, even at 4:30 in the morning. We're going to ride it out. It's likely going to be a cat 3 when it arrives; maybe a strong 2. Can't be sure where the eye will be as most models have the storm running through the center of the state. It appears some models are starting to lean more to the west side of the state, but we'll see. I could be without power for at least a few days.

The Best to you and your family, I have rode out more than one HC, Hugo was an eye opener. Prepare!

Good luck CH. Sandy got us here on the north coast not sure what will happen with Irma.

Cool if expecting power outages more than 24 hours might want to consider dry ice for any freezer(s) you may have to protect food stuffs. Can be very costly loss of foods. We were without power 11 days during Frederick. Almost lost a half of a beef, 100 lbs of seafood, and a lot of butterbeans, etc, The dry ice saved over half of it. My family and neighbors ate the rest! Best of luck to you!

I have 3000 watts of daily power from my solar roof panels and a portable 1250W solar generator as well. My hot water is completely solar. I have a ton of other stuff too. I've been prepping for the zombie apocalypse for a long time now.

Solar generator is good, don't need to worry about fuel. If you lose power for any length of time, power to fridge and sump pump are top priorities. Also you may consider filling the tub with water to use to flush the toilet. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and have had more than my fair share of hurricanes. Take care and good luck!!!

What kind of solar generator do you have. Never realized they could make that many watts and still be portable.

I have a Goal Zero Yeti 1250. There are others now on the market that supposedly can produce more power, but the yeti was more professional looking. They aren't cheap, but they are trusted by Mt. Everest climbers.

Best wishes to you CH!! Sounds like you are well prepared.
