awsome, took her 12 hours but she did it

FOX news mentioned that she is getting smaller,which translates into a stronger Frances.Yeah this is one F---ED up hurricane :eek:

Decreased shear, warm water, what'd ya expect?

I knew this hurricane was trying to trick us :lol:

I almost think the fact that she was a Cat 2 didn't even matter as over 2 million people are apparently w/o power and she hasn't even come on shore yet. With such slow movement this could be equally as damaging as Charley. She has several hours to go over water still - a drop in pressure that much in only an hour may mean she is in a rapid deepening phase.

Not as bad as folks in the northern eyewall, but it will still be bad. Expect sustained hurricane force winds tonight for a prolonged period of time.

The Melbourne radar is really starting to look impressive. This storm is really getting it's act back together in a hurry. Also, she's finally...FINALLY...starting to move.

Not good. Really not good.

Absolutely shocking.

Also, if she keeps deepening rapidly up until landfall, the surge could be enormous from Cape Canaveral and points south...especially since high tide will be up in a few hours.

Wouldn't such a sudden drop warrant an update from the NHC? Not that it matters much as the 8 PM advisory will be soon anyways.

I'm sure they'll mention it at 8PM
