A big problem with Frances is that it is so large that even a hit around Vero Beach means hurricane force winds (though not cat 4 probably) for Palm Beach County and a lot of other real estate as well.

Also the slower movement has a downside in that the storm will have more time to inflict damage before it moves on.

The best much of Florida can hope for unless the storm turns sharply in the near future is cat 1 or cat 2 hurricane winds which would be much easier to take than the cat 4 winds around the eye.

This (NHC) scenario is interesting for one other reason....it puts the storm back into the Gulf of Mexico, where it could (theoretically) reintensify. This would put the "Atlantis Scenario" in play for New Orleans, since an eastern approach (the most dangerous for that city) would be possible....

Here's a daily newspaper link from the epicenter (Vero Beach):
