[Shotimes] (OT) Wilma Sets Barometric Pressure Record

[Christina Casselton]

Ron--I'm not sure where Aaron is located, but he might not know that hurricanes and tornadoes are basically the same except for all the flooding that occurs with a surge tide when the water hits land, but the "funnel" is called a tornado or cyclone when it starts on land and a hurricane or typhoon when it forms over water--and the events are basically the same cause just different results--and the semispheres they occur on.

P.S.  I didn't know this when I was 20 and had lived my entire life in California, eventhough I was well educated, until I moved and lived in South Dakota and had to live through these types of events and learned more about them, so that is the only reason the question seems more logical to me than it might to you at this point in time, I mean no offense to either of you here.

What does the eye of a tornado drop down to?

FYI,

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051019/ap_on_re_us/wilma_lowest_pressure

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:
