Tropical Storm Moves Ashore in Fla.
------------------------------------
MIAMI, Sep 14, 2001 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Tropical Storm Gabrielle
rushed ashore Friday on Florida's Gulf coast, bringing 70 mph winds and
threatening the rain- soaked peninsula with significant flooding from
its blustery downpours.
Schools closed along the coast and military planes in the region
relocated Thursday ahead of Gabrielle, which had meandered in the Gulf
of Mexico for days before reaching tropical storm strength Thursday.
"It's going to be a major flooding event," said Ann Rowe, spokeswoman
for the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
Wind gusts of 61 mph were recorded early Friday in Everglades City
farther south in Collier County, on the western edge of Everglades
National Park. Across the state, in Miami, gusts got up to 49 mph.
But the maximum sustained wind never got up to hurricane strength of 74
mph before Gabrielle moved over land.
