Subtropical Storm Gabrielle - 45 mph winds

[Chimpie]

This one is going to come and go pretty quick, but because we have members in the affected area I thought I would write up a quick thread.

Subtropical Storm Gabrielle has formed off of the coast of North Carolina and will cause a little havoc for the coastal areas. While I don't see that it will get close to hurricane status, with winds at 45 mph (as of this posting) trees and any lose objects can (and will) cause damage.

Here's the latest forecast for the storm. The image will update automatically.

Life could really suck here if it goes inland / stays towards shore after it hits VA/SC's coast.
