This, of course, explains it. Wonder how low the BP will go?

Quite a strong low pressure, but imagine what the low pressure was that spawned the Superoutbreak of Tornadoes back in April 1974 ... Not exactly sure what the BP was, but I'm certain it was below 29.00" (981mb)

Yes, and also the No-Name storm of 1993 here. It was just spring, but we had hurricane-force winds (gusts) of more than 70 mph and serious flooding.

The Superstorm while in the GOM dropped down to 990 mb before making its charge inland ... and by the time it reaches Chesapeake, MD, the BP dropped to 960mb.
