In a state where much of the central region is still recovering from Hurricane Charley of just 3 weeks ago, a new threat is on the horizon. Hurricane Frances packs windspeeds of 140 MPH or more and is the size of the monster storm Floyd from a few years ago. Forecasts this far out can’t pinpoint the exact landfall spot, so if you’re in the ‘cone of error’ it’s best to prepare for what could be another nasty tangle with mother nature.
If you’re not going to be in Florida or Georgia this weekend, please keep all the hanging chads and hacked diebolds in your thoughts as they prepare for what could be a very difficult labor day weekend.
