Christina,

It isn't alot of fun living down here in "hurricane alley" but I will say
this, at least you know when a hurricane is coming.  Earthquakes tend to
catch you by surprise.

OMG When are we going to be able to quit praying for all these poor people
and this vicious cycle end??  I heard today that the Hurricane "Season"
doesn't end until NOVEMBER 30TH!!!  That is over a month away.  I've never
felt for so many for so long since I was in a flash flood in Rapid City on
June 9th 1972 when 263 people were swept out of their homes in less than 8
hours and 24 inches of rain fell on the Black Hills.  I had always thought
tornadoes were scarey but man hurricans make wimp out of them.

I'm praying and praying and praying....  Thanks for the update Ron, I
hadn't heard this little tidbit, but I am "interested".  And I'm crazy for
living in "earthquake country"???  I have lived 56 1/2 years without this
kind of "hurricane" season hitting any place on earth so hard and so long
and so intensely and it is almost scarey at times.  I hope all obey the
warnings and take cover when advised and I will be praying.  I think it's
the only thing we can do to help.

882 millibars coverts to a barometer reading of 26.05!!

FWIW here's a useful converter that has a Pressure conversion table, among
other things:
