5 AM advisory on 3 Sep 2004.
The folks in Florida are counting down the hours until the arrival of Frances. This well advertised hurricane has prompted the evacuation of millions of people and is expected to do considerable damage with winds nearing CAT 4 strength. For Iowa, landfalling hurricanes usually mean that our weather slows down with storm systems finding it difficult to get to the East Coast.
