This seemed like a ridiculous idea for a poll earlier today, but now... hey, why not? :)

Gilbert was 888mb at his peak.

Yesterday I posted that I'd be surprised but not shocked if Rita reached 170 knots, and she might get there.

It's not every century that a hurricane drops 84 mb in less than 30 hours.

Whatever happens, I think we are seeing the worst PAIR of hurricanes in history, coming out of one season.
