FEMA did nothing during Katrina so after 5 days Bush had to fire the head of FEMA.
You mentioned Generac here on Feb 15 during the Big Texas Freeze. After some study, on Feb 16 I bought some GNRC at about $350, and it's $453.75 now -- up 29.6%.
My wife has an on-line trading account. As far as I know, she can buy a single share of any stock without paying a premium. There's not even a transaction fee.
She's been beating the S&P 500 by a decent margin for the last 2-3 years. She thinks she's cool.

Don't that just beat all.
When I worked for State of Illinois, my regular route truck in winter they called a Super Truck. It was 62,000 gross weight which meant you could load more salt on it and stay out longer. The regular 5 ton trucks were 48,000 pounds gross weight.
One time they gave my truck to some kid that did not know what he was doing. HHe was plowing the shoulder at a high rate of speed. maybe 40 or 50 MPH. Way too fast. You jut need to go fast enough to let the snow roll roll.off the end of the plow, maybe 20 MPH.
There was a place contractors had torn out a driveway but that barricades had been knocked down from plowing snow. He hit that and threw the truck into the median. He ripped the plow off the front end and twisted the frame. I think they gave him a month off on that one.
And I bet his clout told him, "I can't do anything about it. You wrecked the truck." LOL
I met a guy who broke his back plowing snow, and sadly, he's permanently disabled. He was clearing a city sidewalk (in Pennsylvania, I think) with a Bobcat. The blade hit a raised section of concrete and stopped the Bobcat abruptly. He was wearing the seat belt, and the sudden stop broke his back. Don't know how fast he was going.
When plowing shoulders I would drive with one foot covering the brake.
One time the concrete shoulder ended and there was a bump of frozen dirt. When I hit that the truck came to a sudden stop. But then I was just doing maybe 20 mph. That is as fast as you needed to go unless you were way out in the boonies. Just roll the snow off the end of the plow.
One time the drifting was bad and the wing plow was not available. So I drove the 5 ton truck (dual rear axles) up on the shoulder which was higher than the road since it was curb and gutter.
Some woman stopped and hollered at me, "Do you know what you are doing?"
I said, "I know what I'm doing. Do you know what you are doing?"
Some people need to learn to mind their own business. ;)
