Tropical Storm Frances







Well guys, Frances down graded to a tropical storm but she left a few people without power and lots of damage to trees and rooftops here in our complex. Last night on my way home from work around 7:30, the winds were so strong and the rain was pretty hard. The streets were lined with trees and branches as I drove to and from work. I saw the down trees in the dark last night, but this morning it's all that much more clear. Check out the pictures I took of parts of the roof on the ground and the trees that were uprooted from the winds. We had about 45-50 mph winds and lost power for about 1 hour last night. Frances is probably pounding the panhandle now. They say that if the winds pick up it will be hurricane status again.

Hurricane Ivan is on his way, this same time next week. I'm sure all of Florida is really starting to feel as if the hurricanes and storms will never stop. A few tornadoes can still develope in our area, so we have to be real careful.
