DMAX is the one coming.
Uhm, isn't diurnal maximum at night while over water and at day over land? Or have I got it wrong?

I never thought I'd ask this about a Tropical Cyclone but...
Is there even rain with this thing?

Most of the deserts of the Mid-Atlantic really needed some rain- Gabs was pathetic!
I concur with the above- did it even have rain post.

All said and done, about 8 inches of rain here. Only problem was that here was limited to the immediate coast of NC.

That is the densest naked spiral I've ever seen.

Surfer Dies At Cocoa Beach, Nearly 200 Rescued In Volusia
POSTED: 11:23 pm EDT September 9, 2007
UPDATED: 7:01 am EDT September 10, 2007
COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- Dangerous problems from Tropical Storm Gabrielle were in Central Florida over the weekend. Even though it hit several hundred miles away, it put a lot of people in danger on Florida’s east coast.
A surfer died at Cocoa Beach in Volusia County and the beach patrol in Volusia County rescued nearly 200 people.
The high tides combined with the rip current was too much for 56-year-old surfer Stephen Gardiner. Life guards were nearly three miles away from the scene of the incident. Other beachgoers heard a woman scream for help and an Osceola County paramedic tried CPR, but it wasn't enough.
The remains of Tropical Storm Gabrielle forced the winds to shift to the east just enough to produce dangerous rip currents. The beach patrol in Volusia County had to rescue 195 beachgoers. Some of them almost drowned.
The National Weather Service reports that rip currents kill more than 100 people a year. They said you should never swim in rip current conditions without a lifeguard around.

Im not so sure it was rip currents that killed that surfer after listening to the news this afternoon. One minute he was on his board the next he fell off and was under water for about 30 seconds before being pulled up by his fellow surf buddies. His buddies didn't mention anything about rip currents, I think it might have been health related, but I guess only time will tell.

Rip current rescues down here are a daily event. A bad day at any Volusia beach might see a 100 of them or more. I doubt you could attribute this to the storm. Also, Cocoa Beach is in Brevard county not Volusia. They should get their facts straight as usual.

Re: Tropical Depression GABRIELLE:Discussions and Images
195 rescues and abnormally high swells both are related
as far as rip currents go, rougher surf makes rip currents more severe (esp during outgoing tides)
so the storm was to blame for the HIGHER AMOUNT of rescues as well as the surfer wether indirectly (bigger surf caused more physical exertion) and then health issues to the surfer or if he was a newbie surfer than it could have been directly

Gabby is moving east-northeast ahead of the trough. It is also firing convection near its core. I think it come back to tropical storm over the next 6 hours if it keeps up. If it does so it could become the 3rd 1+ ace storm.
