Frances could be dropping in for a cuppa on Saturday night/Sunday Morning Lettie.

One of the payments one has to make for living in a place that has over 300 days of sunshine every year I suppose Doug, there are usually 12-18 or so named storms I suppose and around 4-6 of them become serious hurricanes. Florida gets hit more than any other state but, happily, not always with a high category hurricane. This area I live in hasn't been seriously hit since 1964 when Dora came knocking. I think Polk City Airfield is down around the Tampa area isn't it? That would be.somewhere near Bazf. I would think I am over 250 miles N.E. of it.

I have included the latest storm track. It looks now to be going slightly to the west of us which is not good because the strongest winds and most tornados are on the S.E. side of the hurricane. This track can always change up to 200-300 miles over the next 4 days though, hopefully it will give us a miss.
