Satya's blog - Hurricane Frances

We will get Frances by next week. It is major hurricane predicted to reach the Florida coast by Monday Sep 6 but if it turns north -- and we think it will -- it will come towards us. It might even graze the Florida coast and then turn north, which is bad for Florida but better for us. In that case it will tear up the entire coast from Florida to North Carolina except maybe Georgia. In that case, it will hopefully weaken.

Or it could turn north earlier and head straight for us. That'll happen if the ridge to its north weakens at just the wrong time. One hopes there will be a jet stream over us to push it away then.

Best hope is for the ridge to weaken by tomorrow, and then the stream can catch it and turn it north into open water. That's not gonna happen :-(

Will know more Friday Sep 3.
