Frances Comes Back for Seconds

NPR | By Ari Shapiro

Tropical Storm Frances makes its second landfall in Florida, churning into the state's panhandle after regrouping over the Gulf of Mexico.

In central Florida, residents have started to emerge from their shelters to begin cleaning up. Hear NPR's Ari Shapiro.
