Hurricane Gabrielle Becomes Category 4 Storm: Latest Path, Forecast Update for Homeowners

"Hurricane Gabrielle officially became the second hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season after quickly gaining strength, intensifying about 200 miles southeast of Bermuda.

The NOAA predicts an "above-normal" Atlantic hurricane season for 2025, expecting 13 to 18 named storms, with five to nine potentially becoming hurricanes."

"Over 33.1 million residential properties in the U.S. are at moderate or greater risk of hurricane wind damage, with states like Florida and Texas among the most vulnerable. Preparedness for hurricanes is crucial, including stocking up on essentials, reviewing insurance coverage,"
