In Florida, more than 2.5 million residents have been ordered to evacuate their homes as the state prepares to be hit by a major hurricane for the second time in three weeks. Hurricane Frances is expected to hit Florida by mid-morning. Three weeks ago Hurricane Charley hit Florida killing at least 27 people. Hurricane Frances is a massive hurricane stretching 1,000 miles across — roughly the width of Texas. Over 90 percent of Florida residents live in areas under hurricane watches and warnings. The evacuation order is the largest in state history.
