Frances looks like she has a nipple instead of an eye.

"Anything from Palm Beach north is in play"

I am sitting in North Palm Beach at this very moment. I'll be heading back to South "By God" Carolina Thursday around noon.

I95 will probably be a real pain.

Current projections indicate that the storm will still be well south of here Thursday when I leave.

I live in the western most part of SC and will be there late Thursday night.

Unless Frances turns into a Hugo and heads inland, I should miss it all. Except the traffic on I95, of course.

Oh. I thought you lived down there in Fl. I am talking to some folks here who are heading to Kentucky.

I checked flights out to Washington State to see family (I can get $60 R/T tickets) but the flights there were full for my fare requirements. Bummer!

Latest reports are that storm pressure has dropped to 939 MB. Not good.

I'm on an assignment at Juno Beach and only go home about once every 5 weeks. It just so happens that this Labor Day weekend is it.

Very typical of strong
: storms. Keep an eye on the IR and we
: may see another burst of convection
: later tonight that could lead to a
: little more intensification.
: Also note the comment at the bottom
: about the spectacular stadium effect.
: This refers to a eyewall feature
: that slowly tapers inward from top to
: bottom. In other words it would look
: like you were standing on the 50 yard
: line of a stadium and the seats
: slowly slope to the sky. Very
: impressive.

I'm in Richmond, so we're keeping an eye on Frances.

After what happened to you yesterday -- completely understandable.

My dad called me this afternoon cause he was worried about us after what he saw on the news on Gaston (Add to that: my mom's visiting family in FL till Sept 7th. He always goes a little nuts when Mom's gone *L*)

Man, if I have to evac...Damn.

Yeah I know, VA Beach isn't in the bullseye. YET. But if this thing is anything like Isabel was I am NOT sticking around. I actually paid attention during that one when the Navy sent the entire Atlantic fleet (along with my husband) out to sea....mind you I got picked on for leaving but I am not about to stick around with two kids (the oldest being autistic) in a house with no power for a week....

It's understandable he would be concerned - the news about Gaston last night in Virginia was pretty intense. You would be amazed at how many inquiries I've gotten about it today from folks that don't understand the geopgraphy of where in VA I live.

I was talking to some of my neighbor's kids who had a football game last night (go figure-cancel cheerleading but let the football kids slog in the mud *L*) and they said it rained off and on but otherwise not really much of an event here.

Prayers to those still cleaning and picking up in areas affected by Gaston and all the other storms that have visited upon us this year (there's been a lot)
