Hurricane Gabrielle emerged from an African wave near the Cape Verde Islands in August 28, 1989. It tracked westward across the tropical Atlantic while strengthening to a large Category 4 hurricane and eventually re-curved into the northern Atlantic. By September 13, the depression lost most of its tropical characteristics as it merged with a developing North Atlantic storm off Newfoundland. Gabrielle was a very large hurricane.

L'ouragan Gabrielle est issu d'une onde africaine qui s'est formée près des îles du Cap-Vert le 28 août 1989. Il a traversé les latitudes tropicales de l'Atlantique en direction de l'ouest tout en s'intensifiant jusqu'au stade d'ouragan de catégorie 4, puis il a bifurqué vers l'Atlantique Nord. Le 13 septembre, la dépression avait perdu la plupart de ses caractéristiques tropicales lorsqu'elle s'est fondue dans une tempête qui se développait au large de Terre-Neuve, dans l'Atlantique Nord. Gabrielle a été un ouragan d'envergure.
