One prediction market prices this story:
- Category 4 or above — the market puts it at 1%, with $2 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Hurricane Rachel achieves maximum sustained winds of at least 130 mph. It resolves to No if the storm does not reach that wind speed threshold. Readers often mistake the current category or intensity for the final resolution, but only the specific wind speed matters.
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.
