I'm new to Florida and I'm still trying to recover from Charley. Should I be worried about Frances? I really don't know a thing about hurricanes so my instinct is to freak. Any information/advice anyone could offer in leyman's terms would be great. Thanks

Freak, then calm down and evaluate your situation. My suggestion, Leave for Savannah tonight, head for points west or north if it turns toward Savannah. I'm serious, if you do not have to be in Central or S Central Florida, leave while the leaving is good. If you can't leave or you live in a fort or are 'near the edge', take all of the reccommended precautions, get and store drinking water, batteries, candles, matches, clothes and blankets if you have to abandon (get them in the car...during the storm is a bad time for packing)get your stuff ready. Good luck.
