884 mb -- that has to be a record breaker, right?

Yep. 884 mb makes Wilma the strongest Atlantic hurricane by pressure. Of course, Avila cautions us that it's not a "solid" number yet, but when it's accompanied by an extrapolated 881 (the 884 was measured), I'd have to say it's a solid number.

I had a little trouble sleeping last night and turned on the weather channel.
I was flabbergasted when the weatherman said he had never known a hurricane to drop 69 millibars in just 7-1/2 hours.
..and it was 150 miles per hour then.
When I woke up this AM, it had dropped to 800 and something millibars and was 175 miles per hour.
OH MY GOODNESS!
