It's looking good, but I'd really like more info for Cuba. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A ship has a confirmed pressure of 915mbar. Why can't we just say it was that instead of 'may have'? -Winter123 (talk) 23:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"cThe 1932 hurricane was also a Category 5 hurricane. Lowest pressure on a ship south of Cuba was 914.6 mb. It was remarkable for the huge storm surge of 6.5 m at Santa Cruz del Sur, Camaguey. The town was swept away. There were 2,870 deaths out of a population of 4,800 in that coastal town. Estimated winds at landfall were 140 kt, gusting up to 180 kt."
Indeed the 915 was peripheral with hurricane conditions at the time. It was a legitimate pressure but not in the eye, so it was surely lower than that. That means that the pressure was no higher than 909 mbar (if it was 64 kt inside the eyewall with the 10 kt rule), and likely lower than that - possibly significantly lower. In that setup, 150 kt would translate to a pressure around 902 mbar (given its large size and location). However, there is no way to prove the central pressure as any guess would be OR.
