JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon sent shockwaves through markets and C-suites on Wednesday in a free-wheeling interview at an investment banking conference.

Speaking at a conference sponsored by AllianceBernstein Holdings, Dimon said that the U.S. economy is facing a "hurricane" as the Federal Reserve continues its process of normalizing interest rates.

"Right now, it's kind of sunny, things are doing fine," Dimon told the conference. "Everyone thinks the Fed can handle this. That hurricane is right out there down the road, coming our way. We just don't know if it's a minor one or Superstorm Sandy... or Andrew or something like that. And you got to brace yourself."
