Portugal is bracing for a potentially terrifying storm.

Stay indoors, bolt down what you can, charge your electronics and get water, food for the next few days.

If there's an outage of any kind be wary of anyone making themselves pass for any kind of authorities or local services representatives - scammers have previously taken advantage of these situations.

Stay safe.

Portugal vai enfrentar uma tempestade potencialmente terrivel.

Fiquem em casa. Protejam o que for possível, carreguem carregadores e telemóveis. Preparem água e comida para os próximos dias.

Se houver algum tipo de falha de serviços, tenham cuidado com potenciais impostores que se tentem fazer passar por representantes de autoridades para tirar proveito da situação e dos mais fragilizados.

@gulf_intel Measuring operational power instead of announced capacity is the right test. Crusoe says it has over 40 GW in its pipeline but just over 6 GW contracted. For Gulf projects, what's a realistic time today from a signed power deal to an energized hall?

@stephanlivera BlackRock says security is the top reason big holders are swapping into IBIT, with kidnappings and hacks in the headlines. Cold storage solves the hack. It doesn't solve being known as a holder. What's your best advice on that part?

MARA sold 13,597 bitcoin in six weeks, about $1.1 billion, to pay down loans and fund its move into AI data centers. It says it will sell more. Bitcoin miners used to be the hold-forever crowd. Now some are selling coins to pay debts and build for AI. Who's next?

[Hugo Adame @SovForgeHQ]

JPMorgan counts $4.5 trillion in AI promises that don't show up as debt: future data-center leases and chip orders. Google $1.08T, Anthropic $865B, Meta $810B. The same seven companies' booked debt: $758B. The AI boom's real leverage is in the footnotes.

[Hugo Adame @SovForgeHQ]

@BitcoinNewsCom They're converting BTC treasury into equity while the AI leases sit signed but not yet energized. About 3.1K BTC funded ~$250M of buybacks; Beacon Point Phase 2 halls aren't due until 2028. Is the treasury the bridge until project debt lands?

[Hugo Adame @SovForgeHQ]

@ssuttell Local bans were the warning. A 12-month statewide pause would make permission, not chips or power, the binding constraint on the AI buildout. Which states do you expect to try the same playbook next?

[Hugo Adame @SovForgeHQ]

@allday_stocks Signed and powered is the whole game now. Crusoe says it has 40+ GW in its pipeline but just over 6 GW under contract, and Google just took over its Wyoming site after Crusoe couldn't land customers. Which name here has the smallest gap between pipeline and signed, energized MW?

[Hugo Adame @SovForgeHQ]

@Tech_girl Agree for consumers. For businesses it flips: a hosted model's price, rate limits, terms and refusals can change without notice. Open weights are less about freedom than about not letting your data and margins depend on someone else's policy. Who are you building for?

Both #gold and #silver dropped from here. They still haven't reached main support.

Now #oil is also looking bearish.

Once again, potential peace deal? We could know this week.

Voters backed limits on data centers in 40 of 41 local ballot measures on Nov 3, across 10 US states: bans, moratoriums, public-vote rules.

The AI buildout's hardest bottleneck may not be chips or power. It's permission.

Who's actually solving for that?

[Weather Watcher @WXWatcher07]

If you are in Madeira, Portugal, or Spain — please read this very carefully.

It is Monday, November 9… and I’m starting to get increasingly concerned about what’s coming on November 11.

Over the past several days I’ve been watching a low pressure system far out in the Atlantic, but I really didn’t want to boldly claim it would be a significant threat to Portugal until I had a solid basis to do so.

This is because model guidance was really struggling to figure out what this storm would do as it crossed the Atlantic.

1. Would it stay weak and fizzle out before hitting Europe and Africa?

2. Would it take a more southerly track and affect the Canary Islands and Morocco?

3. Would it move a little further north and hit Madeira and Morocco more directly?

4. Lastly, would it rapidly intensify and curve north into Portugal?

Somehow, model guidance is trending more and more towards the worst case — and the impressive part is that the AI models were consistently showing this even when most other weather models had backed away.

This teaches me something. AI models may be much more useful than I originally thought for complicated low pressure systems like this. @LusoMeteo did a great job at pointing this out. I’ll definitely be checking these AI models a lot more from now on when analyzing model guidance.

What does this mean for us?

This storm is carrying rich subtropical moisture which will enhance the flood risk across Madeira, Portugal, Spain, and even the Canary Islands and Morocco.
Depending on how strong the low gets, there is a potentially serious threat of damaging wind on the southern end of the low pressure.

Moisture moving with this system will also influence the risk of torrential rain through southern France, northern and central Italy, and the Adriatic Sea through November 12.

In conclusion, I really didn’t want to be the boy who cried wolf with such an unstable forecast… but now there’s an overwhelming amount of signs pointing to this potentially major storm. Please use the remaining time to prepare, spread the word, and as always, be safe…

This is a key interview to watch, in my opinion.

I think it explains a lot regarding pre-election and post-election thought.

If you’re bullish on the president you’ll probably like it. If not, then no.

I think it’s important to hear from the president at key moments.
