Well, the French scorned Frances - they didn't like the name, asking for it to be retired. It was agreed that this would be the last time, and boy is this one going to go out with a bang. The NHC 5-day track is scary, placing it in the central Bahamas as a 125-kt hurricane on a beeline for Miami in 7 or so days.

(FYI: the NHC official track, almost since the beginning, has been following the FSU Superensemble nearly to a T. If I could get on campus to take a look at it right now, I'd expect more of the same.)
