Hurricane Gustav

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Gustav has been used for four tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

  • 1984's Tropical Storm Gustav - spent most of its existence as a tropical depression hovering over Bermuda, no major damage.
  • 1990's Hurricane Gustav - threatened the Lesser Antilles but turned away before getting too close, causing no damage.
  • 1996's Tropical Storm Gustav - weak storm that formed west of Africa and dissipated soon after, never threatening land.
  • 2002's Hurricane Gustav - first subtropical storm to ever be named; strengthened into a hurricane and came within miles of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina before turning away, later grazing Nova Scotia and dying over Newfoundland.
