Yeah, I have a week off of work thanks to Frances. I was supposed to work in the TPSF this week too. I was so worried about the orbiters in the high bays but they were safe. I would have moved them into the VAB... good thing they didn't!

We were also extremely lucky because Frances got downgraded to a CAT-2 and didn't stay the CAT-4 that it was. I don't even want to think about how badly KSC would be damaged if that had been the case.
