The figure shows a barograph readout of the barometric pressure as recorded by Georgia Southern University’s meteorological equipment. The figure shows a tremendous drop in barometric pressure on March 13, 1993.

(a) If B(t) is barometric pressure expressed as a function of time, as shown in the figure, did B(t) have a vertical asymptote sometime after 8 a.m. on March 13, 1993? Explain why or why not.

(b) Consult Google or another search engine to find out what happened in Georgia (and in the eastern United States) on March 13, 1993, to cause such a dramatic drop in barometric pressure.
