Description

This event tracks the intensity of Hurricane Hanna based on its maximum sustained wind speeds as officially recorded by the NOAA's National Hurricane Center. The outcome depends on whether the storm reaches specific wind speed thresholds corresponding to different hurricane categories. All outcomes share a common expiration rule tied to the storm's occurrence date.

Kalshi

The event evaluates whether Hurricane Hanna achieves specified wind speed thresholds that classify it as a Category 1 or higher storm, with separate markets for Categories 2 through 5. Each market resolves to 'Yes' if Hanna's maximum sustained winds reach or exceed the corresponding threshold—74 mph for Category 1, 96 mph for Category 2, 111 mph for Category 3, 130 mph for Category 4, or 157 mph for Category 5—according to official NOAA National Hurricane Center data. Regardless of category, all markets expire at 10:00 AM ET on the first business day following the date when the storm reaches the required intensity, provided this occurs before December 1, 2026. The structure allows participants to assess the likelihood of escalating storm severity against defined meteorological benchmarks.
