Wave heights 38.1 feet, barometric pressure 28.04 inches and still
falling. Unbelievable. Usually the buoys break loose or stop working
before conditions get to this point.

:Now quit posting this stuff, or JimH and Smithers will claim you are
:"unbelievable", because you like science and data. They'll claim that
:you think it's great that hundreds may die, etc.

===================
For you Kevin. Study up because there will be a quiz later on:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cool

And for you, it was *real* cool that the barometer was bottoming out and
that the wave heights we so high.

This hurricane is indeed unbelievable. It is certainly not *real cool*.

Got it?
