We're starting to get a lot of rain, and as Frances moves through Florida tomorrow, we'll probably see a fair amount of it as the outer feeder bands spiral our way. I really feel for all of the people in Florida who are having to prep for this second one after already having to deal with the chaos Charley caused three weeks ago. We went through Andrew when the boys were little. It sliced across Florida, downgraded slightly and then slammed up through Baton Rouge. Our house had so many trees down around it, it was difficult to see, and people were without electricity and basic needs for weeks. Here's hoping Frances dies out fast and doesn't cross the state to do even more damage there... or anywhere else on this side of the Gulf.
