Describe what the pressure of sub- 29" feels like. I've been down that low, but for short periods of time.

[Category 5]

Down to 980.4mb, still dropping.

Not much wind, I was outside and the highest I measured was 14.4mph.

[JonathanBelles]

There are no bouys or reporting stations (that I have found) in and around the delmarva peninsula supporting anything lower than 982mb.

What is the city You live in?

A small town called Delran New Jersey

Pressure down to 977.1mb

[brunota2003]

O.K., I've been watching this all day now, but tomorrow looks to be just as windy as today here in Eastern NC, here is my wx station: http://www.weatherunderground.com/weath ... =KNCHAVEL3
Ignore the dewpoint, humidity, and temp...I need a new sensor for that (none hooked up for it at this time) The anemometer is on a tree and is sheltered, so just the fact that I'm reading gusts into the teens and 20's is mind-boggling... At Cherry Point (about 1 or 2 miles away) the winds are sustained in the twenties with gusts in the upper 30's and lower 40's...I also took a bunch of video today and plan on taking more tomorrow. Hopefully something happens and they cancel school, so I dont come home to a seven or so hour long video...xD Everyone say safe!
