I hear ya!! Thing is after experiencing little Charley and the damage it did WELL inland..I guess I can feel comforted a Storm Surge still won't hit me..but ugh..I don't wanna loose my roof..

It's a roofers dream up north of here 15 miles..

No need to get to worried here yet..The threat of landfall for somebody has increased significantly from yesterday's viewpoint..Plenty of time for the USA mainland..

It's still way too early to say what's going to happen with Frances. But I will say that I'm watching this thing a bit more closely this A.M. GFS is taking this thing on a Georges-like (1998) pattern, but a bit further to the south. UKMET and GFDL are further north, but still pointing in the general direction of FL. And NOGAPS is hooking this thing N as a recurve in the vicinity of 65. And as of yesterday, the ECMWF also had this thing generally moving WNW north of the islands. Average all those forecasts together and you get a line GENERALLY pointing toward FL. By Sunday night, I think we'll no much more, so I'm being patient for now. But I'm supposed to be leaving for Boston and Connecticut Wednesday evening. That means I'll have to make a call on whether to go on this trip or cancel at some point. I think by Sunday night, things will be a lot clearer because we'll almost be in the 120-hour window where the forecasting gets better.

Well, Boca. We could be getting some of that rain we were complaining about in May/June! (soinks!)
