Infrared satellite image taken from the GOES-12 satellite of Hurricane Frances at approximately 0232 EST. Frances, a category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, is approximately 500 miles east-southeast of the Florida East Coast, moving at near 14 knots. Maximum sustained winds remain near 140 MPH with winds extending outwards up to 80 miles. The core of the storm is expected to be near Florida within two days, only three weeks after Hurricane Charley left billions of dollars in damage as it swept across the peninsula.
