Hurricane Rafael sets record low pressure as it approaches Texas-Mexico border

Hurricane Rafael has set a new record for the lowest central pressure in a November hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, dropping to 965 millibars. This surpasses the previous record of 985 millibars set by Hurricane Kate in 1985. Rafael made landfall in Cuba as a Category 3 storm and is now moving slowly over the Gulf. The National Hurricane Center warns of potential life-threatening conditions, including heavy rain and storm surges, as the storm approaches the Texas-Mexico border. The storm's path has shifted from earlier forecasts, now targeting the Texas-Mexico border instead of Louisiana and Mississippi. Coastal cities are preparing for possible impacts, and residents are advised to stay updated on the storm's progress.
