Tropical Storm Gabrielle

The name Gabrielle has been used for six tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean; Gabrielle is one of the original names on the rotating six-year cycle of names used in the North Atlantic basin established in 1979.

  • Hurricane Gabrielle (1989) - reached Category 4 and, though never striking land, caused large ocean swells on the East Coast of the United States that killed eight.
  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle (1995) - strengthened rapidly but formed too close to land to reach hurricane strength before making landfall in Mexico, causing minimal damage.
  • Hurricane Gabrielle (2001) - made landfall near Venice, Florida as a tropical storm, exited back into the ocean and strengthened into a minimal hurricane, degenerating south of Newfoundland.
  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2007) - subtropical storm that became a weak tropical storm. Made landfall in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, causing light damage.
  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2013) - short-lived, weak tropical storm that formed and dissipated in the Caribbean Sea south of Puerto Rico, but reformed close to Bermuda.
  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2019) - weak and disorganized tropical storm that dissipated over the eastern Atlantic. Later regenerated and intensified into a moderate tropical storm.

The name Gabrielle has also been used for two tropical systems in the Indian Ocean.

  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle (1982) - a moderate tropical storm that brushed the islands of Mauritius and Réunion without causing damage.
  • Tropical Low Gabrielle (2009) - downgraded to a tropical low in post-analysis, did not affect land.
