Re:Frances and GOM

Opal didn't do that....she came from the Bay of Campche...but you have to look no further than Andrew to see that it can happen...and the conditions in the Gulf are more favorable now than they were for Andrew for strenghening...it all depends on how far south it enters the Gulf and how long it stays over water.
