[Shotimes] (OT) Wilma Sets Barometric Pressure Record

[Robert Bruce]

I just returned home from a 10 day vacation in Jamaica.  Yea Mon!  We were in the western end of the island and watched Wilma grow
from a rainstorm into a tropical depression.  Within 24 hrs after we left, it was upgraded to a hurricane.  We only had one day of
occasional showers and feel very lucky that we got out of the area when we did.

FYI,

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:
