Didn't know whether to put this here or in the NOW/REPORTS thread for Frances...
I saw an interesting graphic on (gulp) TWC tonight... It seems that Frances has spawned more tornadoes in the U.S. than any other hurricane save one. So far, there have been 90-some tornadoes with Frances! Even more impressive, there have been 40 tornadoes associated with Frances in South Carolina. While this doesn't seem that big for Plain's chasers, is it the biggest tornado outbreak in SC history! In fact, only 2 other years have had more tornadoes than just this one event. Yesterday, when nearly 50 tornadoes were reported, shear remained very impressive across northeast GA and into the Carolinas. Additionally, decent instability was able to develop, making for a tornado-primed event. Just thought this was interesting...
For what it's worth, Frances is still a tropical depression. NHC has shifted product issuance to the HPC, which is (and has been for the past couple of days) issuing advisories for Tropical Depression Frances.
