Billions in lost productivity on the corporate level. I'd bet well over a billion spent by South Florida residents just preparing and stocking up for this supposed monster of a storm.

And what do we get from this tough guy named Frances? A total dud.

What a joke and complete waste of time this storm has become.

It's now expected to only have 70-90mph winds when it hits landfall near Ft. Pierce tomorrow night. Still a force to contend with but nothing like they told us.

Once again the government succeeds in freaking out the people, i.e. the sheep who all fled en masse to who knows where.

Baaaahhhh
but if it would have kept going the way it was then lives would have been lost. even with the evacuation i'd be happy it got downgraded
