I'm glad the boat is coming to evacuate them. It would be dreadful to be on that thing in 70ft seas..

Trust me- they are LOOOOONG gone.
Every bouy, marker and light is going to be impacted...
They will be working ungodly, exhausting hours in the SE for months and months to come....think of them.

Sorry, I always forget to post these things. On a Mac, all you have to do is drag the image to the address line and it automatically takes you there.

The pressure is falling because Ivan is getting closer to the buoy (where the measurement is being taken).

You can see the buoy data here:

Does anybody know if the scaling will change automatically when she falls below 29.6 or does she just peg out?

It can only go as low as the center of Hurricane Ivan.

Pretty cool to actually watch the pressure drop.

That is if you're not in it.
