No matter where you go just about everyone is talking about Hurricane Frances. Will the storm directly impact us? Right now there is no clear answer. But as with any approaching storm it's always best to prepare. Around the clock forecasters keep an eye on Hurricane Frances.

Mike Emlaw, with the National Weather Service says, "the question for everybody in the South Eastern U-S is what happens between now and the next three or four days."

Forecasters are hoping Tropical Storm Gaston was a wake up call. Emlawy says, "I am hoping that with Gaston that people now have been brought back to reality I think with Charlie and Bonnie they got into a false sense of security that these things are not a big deal."

Forecaster are not the only ones keeping an eye on Frances, locals are also staying alert. Audrey Parker of North Charleston says, "I have not started buying water yet, I have not been to the grocery store yet to get all the supplies but if gets any closer I probably will..

Ben wooten of North Charleston says, "I have been living here for 44 years and everyone that has hit charleston starts with an F, G or H, G, is already gone, H is out in the middle of the North Atlantic and here comes the F.."

Frances will soon deliver its fury just where is still being predicted, until it does a word of advice. Emlaw says, "prepare for the worst and hope for the best and that is what we are doing and that is what everybody in the Lowcountry should be doing with this storm because this thing could cause us lots of problems."

Forecaster say Hurricane Frances should not be taken lightly. They say if you don't have an evacuation plan you should get one. Meteorologist says we're not even half way through Hurricane Season and already this month South Carolina has been hit by four storms.
