Forward Speed Critical, Friday Morning Landfall?!
Just based on basic math, 17(forward speed) x 48(hours) = 816 miles, unless this thing slows down and quick, its could be makin landfall somewhere in s. florida this time friday morning, with TS effects being felt as early as late Thursday night. Someone better start making some decisions and quick, IMO.

The storm is predicted to slow, which would significantly impact the ETA of the storm. You are right, if it doesn't slow, the ETA will be moved up. One thing to also consider, is the fact that the storm will not move as the crow flies, so to speak, and drawing a straight line from the eye to a specific geographical area does not accurately reflect how far the storm has to travel. The actual miles traveled by Francis will be greater than the direct line distance between the two points.
