Was the lowest barometric pressure in U.S. history recorded during a hurricane?

Yes. The lowest barometric pressure ever measured on the U.S. mainland was 26.35 inches, set on Sept. 2, 1935, in Long Key, Fla. , during the Category 5 Labor Day hurricane that killed more than 400 people.

This is the third-lowest barometric pressure ever recorded during an Atlantic hurricane, behind only Wilma in 2005 and Gilbert in 1988 (both readings were recorded offshore). The world s low-pressure record of 25.69 inches was set over the Pacific Ocean, during Typhoon Tip in Oct. 1979. For comparison, standard sea-level barometric pressure is 29.92 inches, while the highest pressure reading of all-time was 32.01 inches, set in the Soviet Union in Dec. 1968.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
