find the entire article that I just posted about this massive storm <a title=\"right here\"

noreferrer\">right here<\/a>.\u00a0 In this article, I am going to focus on what just happened on Wall Street.\u00a0 At the exact same time that Hurricane Michael was causing chaos in the Southeast, an October stock market crash was causing havoc in the Northeast.\u00a0 The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 831 points, which was the 3rd largest single day point crash in stock market history.\u00a0 Of course it isn\u2019t as if we hadn\u2019t been <a title=\"repeatedly warned\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/why-are-so-many-people-talking-about-the-potential-for-a-stock-market-crash-in-october\">repeatedly warned<\/a>that this was coming, and the truth is that it looks like this is only the start of the financial shaking.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, international financial markets are in a state of chaos as I write this article.\u00a0 Asian markets <a title=\"are a sea of red\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/10\/11\/asia-markets-wall-street-sell-off-the-fed-currencies-in-focus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are a sea of red<\/a>, and at this moment Dow futures <a title=\"are way down\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/pre-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are way down<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So it appears likely that Wednesday\u2019s nightmare may extend into Thursday as well.<\/p>\n<p>But before we look ahead too much, let\u2019s talk about the utter carnage that we just witnessed.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a title=\"Bloomberg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloombergquint.com\/markets\/bezos-s-fortune-drops-9-1-billion-as-market-rout-whacks-wealthy#gs.EARjd48\" target=\"_blank\"
