Weather Nut!
Yep, Frances is big, but she's 'petite' compared to what Hurricane Floyd was a few years ago.
Fortunately, for the Floridians, Floyd turned and skipped the peninsula in its entirity.
Frances' eye is not easily seen anymore- that's a good thing; that means she's weakening. When you can see they eye clearly (Like you could in Dzervit's picture), your **** is in a sling if you're in the way.
Frances:
Hurricane Floyd:(Notice the easy-to-see eye and eyewall; this was a beast)
The bad news is, even though Frances is weakening, the reports are she's still twice the size that Andrew (1991) was; and what she now lacks in wind, she'll make up for in rain and in slow movement- Florida, still soaked from Bonnie & Charley may have big-time flood issues in the days to come.
Hoping for the best you guys!

Hurricane Frances screwed me. My power isn’t going to be restored until the 18th, maybe.

That's a long time without power. Where are you holed up in the meantime?
