[RC] update on hurricane/tropical storm frances - Ed Kilpatricki am in the panhandle part of florida. if you look on the map and see where florida, georgia, and alabama come together, that is where i live. TS frances passed by about 30-35 miles to the east of us yesterday. we were on the "good side" of it. we had quite a bit of rain, a lot of wind, but no serious damage. we were without electricity for only a short time (3 hours) yesterday morning.
many of my friends and relatives in central and southern florida fared far worse. this was a very large, very destructive hurricane. the amount of rainfall was incredible in some places.
it will, of course, take some time to get things up and running farther down the state. meanwhile, our eyes are on ivan! ed
