no one is getting *any* work done today at work, everyone is trying to locate stuff to protect their house (wood, tape, etc) or figurouing how to get out of here. I am probably going to stay put since I've never been through one before.

You really might want to consider getting out of the way of this storm and riding out one that's a bit smaller. Just a thought.

I thought it got downgraded to a class 3, which is basically a strong breeze.

Frances is still a dangerous hurricane but has (at least for the time being) weakened from the 145-mph Category 4 storm that it was on Thursday to a 105-mph Category 2 storm. Still, Frances continues to develop powerful convection (thunderstorms) around parts of its central core as it tries to rev up. There still is the distinct possibility that the hurricane could strengthen again.

wuss

yeah, I'm a wuss because I don't like things flung at me at like 105+ mph and REALLY don't like things flung at me at 145+ mph. At those speeds, a random aluminum sign could be blown fast enough to slice through the wall of your house and you while it's at it.

I've heard a hurricane can drive a straw through a telephone pole. Or maybe that's a tornado. Dave, test this out for us. Go outside during the peak of the storm with a straw.

Looks like the hurricane's decided it likes Florida and is going to stay a while longer.

Edit: Damn, the storm wussed out and got downgraded to tropical storm. What happened to the Cat 4 we were promised?

And apparently your computer too. Unless you're posting to the board via the bowling ball.
