Re: eh?

Regarding the pressure vs wind, there must be a new Murphy's Meteorological Law this year: The lower the pressure the lighter the wind. Its called the Law of Diminishing Returns (stolen from recent trends in the Stock Market) Sorry Hank - couldn't resist. Actually it sure seems odd to me as well - that, and three straight recons last night with the same max flight level wind of 109kts?!

Buried somewhere in about the last 1,000 posts is a gem from Kimster with a listing of the strongest hurricanes of record. Kim do you have a link to that list? It would be a great addition to the History Forum and I'd like to see what the winds were like in storms with similar pressure.
Cheers,
ED
