    I mean it’s a lot of guestimation for using train delays as input for weather/disaster prediction. A 3 hour delay on all lines could just be signal failure. Or Tuesday, if you use the DB

      I’m thinking more catastrophic stuff, like major outages for multiple days/weeks/months like from a hurricane, earthquake, etc. That’s the unexpected stuff that throws the local economy haywire, and if you know when it will begin and when it will end, it just takes reviewing what business historically thrive vs falter in that situation in order to profit off of the human suffering.
