*hopes it misses because I have no roof left if it comes within 100 miles.*

Jeez. Another one.

:thumbdown

i just found out about that...wow now i really know i never watch the news lol

Yeah, I hope this one doesn't strike land. Wouldn't that be a pain if the people who are still without power get their's turned on just to have it shut off again.

Ligten up Francis

Hurricanes need ghetto names that way they show up late and look tough but don't do anything.

Note: The storm's name is Frances, not Francis.

Close enough

No chance this one hits FL, its comin to SC NC if it does

It's a now a cat. 3 and will probably be a 5 before it makes landfall.

 

Bring it biatch!!!!!

MIAMI (AP) Hurricane Frances grew into a Category 2 storm Friday in the Atlantic, but is not expected to threaten land in the near future.

 

Frances had maximum sustained winds near 105 mph and was expected to get stronger over the day and could become a Category 3 storm, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

 

At 11am, the hurricane was centered about 820 miles east of the Lesser Antilles in the southeastern Caribbean and was moving west-northwest near 10 mph, forecasters said.

 

"It appears now that its going to pass well north of the islands," said Lixion Avila, a hurricane specialist. But he said residents in the Caribbean should monitor the hurricane, because the long-term forecast could change.

 

Frances is the sixth named storm of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.

It's a now a cat. 3 and will probably be a 5 before it makes landfall.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The best place for it to hit if it makes land fall is the east coast of Florida. The building codes make it so we can withstand more. But any category 5 is pretty destructive. :o

the only good thing will be no school for weeks

A Cat. 5 making landfall in Miami would not be good up here in SWFL because it would likely be a large storm (something Andrew and Charley were not) in size and definitely cause more damage.

We just made banners at Mariner so that the Port Charlotte High School Building can be decorated in Port Charlotte colors in the morning, then switched to Charlotte High colors in the afternoon. Charlotte High is gone, Port Charlotte High is not much better.

i hope coral park goes down

BTW, anyone who likes high school football...Mariner High School's McKenna Field will host the Mariner at Charlotte game for Charlotte High School. All gate proceeds go to Charlotte High's rebuilding. Game is on Friday, Sept. 10th.

Mariner's Powder Puff League is also looking to organize a Charlotte High team or even a league so that a special schedule can be made and cheer up the CHS students. Powder Puff Girls Tackle Football is the best.

Looks like the damn thing is headed right at us. The further north it goes, the better.

i think this one is going to go the same path floyd did in '99
