28.38 (hope I got that decimal right) here and rain and wind have ramped up. Hah! I found the light that will go on when the power goes out. That's a good thing.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human末animals and aliens are great possibilities

According to Cliff Mass the lowest pressure was right around 980 millibars = 28.94 inches. Should be somewhat higher by now.

My dial face barometer has hit 28. It has no numbers below that.

Yes. It has been close in the past. It I have an Oregon Scientific digital one going too, and I wonder if it has lower readings. The breeze is blowing too, and I better get out and go for a walk.
