Subject: [STORMREPORTS] RE: Katrina Record Pressure?
902 was lowest I think? It beats Andrew & Camille, but not the Labor Day
storm of '35. There is a table near the bottom of this page:
http://www.weatherwatchers.org/tropical/1998/13/mitch.html
which I made years ago during Hurricane Mitch, but the data is accurate
only up to 1998.
