Frances is doing her thing.....

[Rod-64]

in Florida..............amazing pics on the news.
Don't want to come off as selfish, but too bad there wasn't an aqueduct that could put that 20-25 inches of rain into Powell and Mead. They're goona get destroyed by water.
This storm could cost 40 Billion and that doesn't even count ti 20 Billion for Charley 3 weeks ago.
A prayer for the Floridians form here. :frown:

Now she's headed for my place. Not cool, not cool at all. :burningm:

there is also another hurricane (ivan) that could be heading that way by the next weekend

Ivan looks like the track projection is slightly lower than Frances so far possible going south or into the D republic / Cuba area. Might put it into the gulf but whoo knows. Seems no 2 act alike.
Kind of like boats in that regard.
Yeah it would be nice if all that water could be captured for Lake Powell. :frown: Prolly would fill er up and then some.

If that track holds up looks like Florida could get it again bout next Sun-Mon :(
Hopefully it will go elsewhere or weaken.

I'm in Tampa, waiting for the full brunt of Frances. We've had 50 mph or so winds for hours now. &#^@ hurricane hasn't turned into a tropical storm as predicted now that it is over land -- the sustained wind is still 90mph. Oh well, time for a Coors Lite now. :D At least our power is still on -- over 4M in Florida are without power right now.
