They are "closing down" Miami Beach and all barrier islands. Just came in..the order.

That means you will be told to leave. They will not come with guns to evict you but...they will tell you to leave and advise you that there will be no emergency medical or fire rescue available in case of an emergency.

It is best to leave.. move inland to a friend or to a shelter.

IF you do stay.
Move into the interior hallways of the building which are safer IF the storm comes your way and winds intensify. Go to lower floors rather than higher floors as winds are faster the higher up you go. This is ONLY IF Frances were to come in south of the landfall which should be landfalling further north.

Either way.. stay in interior hallways in a condo if the weather.

BUY a WXR RADIO NOW.. because they can run off a 9volt battery IF your cable/tv goes out.
