Re: Cat III Frances?

Frances seems like a very well organized, compact storm, like Charley. If it slows down some, it could gain more in intensity over the warm waters (providing there is little shear) and maybe strengthen quickly prior to landfall to maybe Cat 4 strength. After all, forecasters never thought Charley was going to be as powerful as it turned out!
