This quick update. The 5:00pm update from the NHC now has changed Frances' track back to the southern route of yesterday afternoon. Apparently this storm has them working overtime to keep up with her.

As you can see from the picture above, the track has moved a considerable distance from us. The current prediction will take it about 60 miles to the west.

Not one to take any chances, I went out this afternoon and picked up a new extendable tree saw/lopper and trimmed a few branches overhanging our roof and brushing up against the gable end.

It's breezy here while the skys are partly cloudy. It'll be interesting to see what the next NHC update will bring.
