💨 Gabrielle: The Storm With Great Hair and Zero Chill (Storm #6 in 2025—and she’s now officially in the game)
Share
📚 Etymology: Where the Name Gabrielle Comes From
Gabrielle is the feminine form of Gabriel, from Hebrew, meaning “God is my strength.” But in hurricane form, Gabrielle tends to show up strong, flirt with power, then maybe ghost you mid‑weekend.
Nickname options: Gabby, Elle, Bree… or just “Seriously, Gabby?”
🌪️ Gabrielle’s Storm History: She’s Been Messy Before

-
1995 – Tropical Storm Gabrielle, minor impacts, some rain and flooding.
-
2001 – Struck Florida’s west coast; moderate damage and heavy rainfall.
-
2007 – Surfaced near the Carolinas then walked away.
-
2013 – Weak at formation, then faded again.
