Hurricane Frances dropped to a Category 2 storm late today with top sustained winds of 105 mph. The system continues to crawl toward Florida's shore bringing with it the potential for torrential rains and flooding once it hits land and starts a slow journey across the state.

The "weather experts" here in South Florida said they expect it to be a tropical storm by the time it hits the Orlando area which is probably good news, however this thing is like a snail...I think it's going to be a problem with flooding more than the wind!
