[Shotimes] (OT) Wilma Sets Barometric Pressure Record

[Juillerat, Aaron J]

I am located just outside Cincinnati.  I knew the physics behind them are
similar, what I wasn't sure was due to the intense wind speeds if maybe a
tornado dropped to a lower pressure than a hurricane.  The two are much more
similar than I thought after reading some articles and your posts.  This
link basically sums up what you all have posted.

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.

That's where it's at as I described.

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:
