Re: Jim

Feels like I've been under house arrest for the last 3 days. Winds have mostly subsided now, with only occasional 20-25 MPH gusts and very little rain. Nothing here destroyed as near as I can tell. Only a couple of plants in pots got tipped over but none broken.

Those in the path of the eye weren't so lucky. Lots of damage in that path. Tampa Bay has some pretty scary storm surge right now. And I guess it's about to raise hob in the panhandle and Alabama.

Very different storm than Charley. Frances, like Jabba the Hutt, seemed to get too big to move. By next Saturday, we'll have a better idea what Ivan is going to do.

Jim do you think the size is what is causing the stall and amount of
moisture it is dropping? Thinking it can still be picking up more
moisture from both ends of it as those are still over water bodies?

Are you still ok down there?

Just saw a graphic on the tube. Frances has a diameter of 366 miles,
so 
while it's parked over the state, a considerable amount of her hangs
off both sides.
