Millibars are a form of atmospheric pressure.

Hurricanes or severe storms usually have very low atmospheric pressure. So your answer would be 923 HPA (Hecto pascals) or as we call it millibars. 923 Millibars is the average atmospheric pressure for a cat 4 hurricane. So charlotte with 923 is your final answer!
