Hurricane Gustav in 2002 was the first named subtropical cyclone from the current Atlantic tropical cyclone naming list. It was the seventh named storm and first hurricane of the 2002 Atlantic hurricane season, becoming, at the time, the latest-forming first hurricane of the season since 1941, a record that was broken by Isaias 24 years later in 2026. Gustav formed as a subtropical depression on September 8 off the east coast of the United States, which gradually strengthened. The storm initially had several circulations and a broad center, but it slowly transitioned into a tropical cyclone, a process completed by September 10. Soon thereafter, Gustav brushed the Outer Banks of North Carolina before curving to the northeast. It strengthened further, attaining hurricane status on September 11, and reaching peak winds of 100 mph (155 km/h). Gustav weakened before striking Nova Scotia early on September 12. Soon after, it was becoming an extratropical cyclone as it moved across Newfoundland, dissipating on September 15. High surf from Gustav killed a swimmer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While the storm passed near the Outer Banks of North Carolina, it produced heavy rainfall, high tides, and a weak tornado. In Hatteras, 40 people required rescue from the storm surge. Gustav interacted with a high pressure area to produce strong winds across the northeastern United States, peaking at 67 mph (108 km/h) in Catskill, New York. The winds led to six fatalities – five due to fallen tree or tree limbs, and one due to a shipwreck – as well as at least 22 injuries. The down trees damaged three homes and several vehicles, while leaving at least 326,500 people lost power. Later, Gustav became the first landfalling Canadian hurricane within observation of a Doppler weather radar. The hurricane produced wind gusts of 76 mph (122 km/h), strong enough to knock down trees and power lines.
