Down down down down.....

Yes, the pressure is falling.

It's currently hovering at a needles width above 28 inches of mercury. I'm informed by t'internet of two things.

Firstly, 28" of mercury is equivalent to about 948 millibars.

Secondly, Hurricane Jeanne (in 2004) had a lowest pressure of only 950 millibars.

Assuming both of those pieces of information are correct, and assuming the barometer is reading correctly (it is rather old...) then we have a big-ass depression over us right now....
