It should take a few hours, but the wind speed is expected to pick up. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a CAT 5 on our hands.
Hurricane City is planning on starting live streaming later today, with radio from the Bahamas and the shortwave Hurricane Watch Net. Jim Williams will be live this evening with analysis, phone calls from the affected area and live updates from television stations in South Florida.
My daughter and I really get into watching the storms and we've been saying the same thing, CAT 5 at landfall.
Frances has double and based on the microwave image above, possibly triple eyewalls....don't expect Cat 5 anytime soon. Also pressure at 8AM advisory was up a little to 937....
