Third reading in a row, pressure slightly increasing to 934.3, I'm pretty much convinced that the station is in the eye at the moment, and just amazed that it is able to broadcast at all. The island must not have been swamped like assumed. I really wish someone would have figured out a good way of putting detailed information gathering technology on the island before leaving - a video camera right now would be absolutely wonderful.

The tidal station is on the lagoon side of the island, which could have helped keep it safe. Perhaps the atoll also helped break the waves.
The station is still working (although who knows how accurate it is?). We had readings at 13:48 and 14:06 Zulu. Pressure is up to 979.70mb.
