Hurricane Frances gained strength and became a major hurricane with 115 mph winds in the Atlantic on August 27, 2004 as it took a path that should carry it north of the vulnerable northeastern Caribbean islands early next week. Another storm system, not yet a tropical storm or hurricane, prompted forecasters to issue a tropical storm alert for a portion of the U.S. eastern seaboard.

It was moving to the northwest at about 12 mph, forecasters said.


Frances had grown quickly since it formed in mid-Atlantic and was a Category 3 hurricane on the five-stage Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity. Forecasters said it could become a Category 4 storm during the weekend
