Default WHOA i'm shocked Hurricane Wilma shattered Gilbert's pressure of 888 mb

I know i'm late with this, but i am just totally shocked that hurricane
Wilma reached a lower pressure than Gilbert's 888 mb in 1988. Wilma
hit 882 mb! - i never thought what was a tropical depression a few
days ago, late in the season, would smash Gilbert's pressure record.
un****ingbelievable.


And, to have a comparison, what's the pressure inside a tornado ? i.e. in
the eye of a twister ? Is it negative ?

Why are there tornadoes around the hurricanes ? I thought they were very
distinct phenomenoms ?
