I've been watching those Frances threads too. Seems to be that this is not one to be misunderestimated. Is it still pointed more or less at Melbourne?
I've skimmed the comments so far, and I'm seeing what might be seen to us as an alarming lack of "getting out of town" by y'all... I hope all of you stay safe... :-)
Yeah, they've still got it more or less headed to Melbourne, but they are fairly vague about it.
I'd like to get out of town, but there's not much room to maneuver from South Florida, as you can only go one direction, in this case the same approximate direction that the TPC has got slated for Frances. I figure it'll take 2 full days of driving to get out of her way, which means leaving tomorrow morning at about the latest, or else risk being caught in a massive traffic jam or something and weathering the storm on the highway. Most of us won't be ready to leave by tomorrow morning.
If we could flee south or southwest, we could do that much later in time, no problem. I suppose going to Keys is an option, though!
'Course I've got 4 dogs here, which is another problem.
