Re: Records

Oh my god. I went to bed last night and Wilma was a Cat 2. Now I wake up and she's a 5, and the track has been nudged slightly north, more toward Fort Myers.

I think I feel sick.

A question. Last night I was reading posts where people said that the pressures in the Caribbean were naturally higher than in the Atlantic. Is this taken into consideration with deciding things like "which hurricane has the lowest pressure ever"? Does Wilma's 884 correspond to an 884 if she had been in the Atlantic? Thanks.
