Hurricane Frances Destroying Florida


I have family that lives in Palm Beach, where the storm first hit the state and stalled for a long time before spiralling up the coast. That's not on the mainland but on the thin islands called intercoastals where all the highest valued lands is located. West Palm Beach is the corresponding mainland town. We first heard my grandparents today, so we know they are ok. They can't go home yet, police have blocked off the entrances until emergency workers can clear away downed power lines. Half of the state is without electricity, most gas stations are without gas, the highways are empty, DisneyWorld is CLOSED.

Notice the small hurricane in the lower right corner of the picture. It is heading right for the Sunshine State. This would make the 3rd hurricane to hit Florida in 30 days...
