According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the lowest sea-level
pressure ever recorded was 25.69 inches in the storm Typhoon Tip. It was
recorded 300 miles west of the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean at
latitude 16 deg 44 min north, longitude 137 deg 46 min east, on Oct. 12,
1979. The U.S. record is 26.35 inches, produced by the 1935 Labor Day
hurricane (they didn't yet use names for hurricanes as is now done) which
crossed the U.S. coastline at Matecumbe Key, FL at 10:00 p.m. on Sept. 2,
1935. It is likely that even lower barometric pressures have occurred, at
least momentarily, at locations over which strong tornadoes have passed,
but apparently such short-lived events do not qualify as records.
