September 25, 2025 Update: Hurricane Gabrielle Nearing the Azores & New System Brewing in the Caribbean

The Atlantic remains active with Hurricane Gabrielle racing toward the Azores and a developing tropical wave near the Dominican Republic that could strengthen into a depression later this week.

Current Storm Status and Path

•Hurricane Gabrielle is moving rapidly eastward and is expected to bring hurricane conditions to the Azores tonight or early Friday.
•Tropical Storm Humberto remains several hundred miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.
•Caribbean System (AL94): A tropical wave near the Dominican Republic is producing widespread rain and storms, moving west-northwest and expected to impact Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and later the Bahamas.

Conditions for Intensification

•Gabrielle is maintaining hurricane strength as it approaches the Azores.
•The Caribbean wave (AL94) is entering an environment favorable for development. A tropical depression is likely to form near the Bahamas later this week, with a 50% chance in 48 hours and 80% chance within 7 days.

What to Expect and How to Prepare

•Azores: Expect strong winds, heavy rainfall, and hurricane-force conditions tonight into Friday. Residents should secure property and follow local emergency guidance.
•Caribbean & Bahamas: Heavy rain, flash flooding, and gusty winds possible. Communities in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas should closely monitor forecasts and have preparedness plans in place.

Take Action Now

While the storm’s path remains uncertain, preparedness is essential. TAKE ACTION NOW, secure your property, review your insurance, and have a plan in place. For support with your coverage, contact the insurance coverage experts at GlobalPro—your safety is our priority.

To ensure you’re fully prepared, check out the ‘3 D’s of Damage’—Document, Describe, and Defend — on our GlobalPro storm center page for essential steps to protect your property and strengthen your claim after the storm.

GlobalPro’s 3 D’s of Damage – Steps to Take After the Storm: After Hurricane Milton passes, it is crucial to take the right actions to protect your property and maximize your recovery from any damages sustained. At GlobalPro, we recommend following our “3 D’s of Damage” process to effectively manage risk and recovery:

  1. Document: Thoroughly document all damage by taking extensive photos and videos, both inside and outside your property. Capture every detail, no matter how minor, as this will be essential for your insurance claim. Maintain records of any temporary repairs made to prevent further damage.
  2. Describe: Create a comprehensive list of all damaged items, including a description and estimated value. This could encompass structural damage, broken windows, damaged furniture, and other affected property. The more detailed your documentation, the stronger your claim will be.
  3. Defend Your Claim – Call GlobalPro First: After a major storm like Hurricane Milton, having expert representation is essential. Before contacting your insurance company, call GlobalPro. Insurance companies may try to take advantage of the emotional stress that follows a disaster, as highlighted in the recent 60 Minutes investigation and my paper here: Don’t Let Insurers Undermine Your Claims – Call Us First.
