Hurricane Gabrielle has intensified into a powerful Category 4 storm, prompting forecasters to advise residents in the Azores to prepare for potential impact. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two additional disturbances in the Atlantic that may develop into tropical storms. As Gabrielle churns southeast of Bermuda, experts are also observing a tropical wave with a likelihood of forming near Florida and another system approaching the Bahamas. Homeowners along the East Coast are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions as tropical threats continue to emerge in the Atlantic, marking the end of a prolonged quiet period for the tropics.
