Thank you all, folks!
We Floridians down here "in harm's way" do appreciate your thoughts and concerns.
This storm is serious. Sustained winds of 140 mph and moving at 14 mph. That's almost twice as fast as an average hurricane moves. It's expected to strengthen. The distinction between Category 4 and Category 5 is lost on me. Which would you rather have hit your house...a 1,000 lb bomb or a 2,000 lb bomb? What the hell is the difference? I feel an empathy with my paratrooper brothers of WW2...armed with a rifle and watching a Tiger tank coming in their direction, knowing there's not a damned thing you can do but get out of the way. When I was outside awhile ago I faced southeast and gave the familiar hand gesture to indicate that Frances is "number one" on my list. It made me feel a little better. Not much, but a little. There is one possible positive result of all this... Maybe Frances will f**k up all the punch card voting machines. Thank you again, my friends. Will keep you updated as long as possible.

Looks like another duck and cover position may be in order with the new one coming in. Don't envy you having to look forward each year to this type of situation.
Be safe

Steve,
Looks like it's comin' your way after it visits Tina and Gimpy. Keep a close eye my friend, it could re-fire when it hits the gulf. Go gamble in Gulfport! Paco
