Correct... the lowest pressure regardless of where it was is what goes in the books.

There was also Hurricane Allen in 1980, which hit 899mb. So at 908mb right now, Katrina is 6th strongest.

And referencing the chart (I don't have to look this far down that often)
7 140 KTS 161 MPH 921 mb 5 (136+ KTS)
7.5 155 KTS 178 MPH 906 mb 5 (136+ KTS)

Pressure to go to 155kts, and SHIPS showing peak 152kts, strengthening is definately in order. :eek: :cry:
