Hurricane Gustav (disambiguation)

The name Gustav has been used for five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean:
* 1984's Tropical Storm Gustav, spent most of its existence as a tropical depression hovering over Bermuda, no major damage
* 1990's Hurricane Gustav, threatened the Lesser Antilles but turned away before getting too close, causing no damage
* 1996's Tropical Storm Gustav, weak storm that formed west of Africa and dissipated soon after, never threatening land
* 2002's Hurricane Gustav, first subtropical storm to ever be named; strengthened into a hurricane and came within miles of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina before turning away, later grazing Nova Scotia and dying over Newfoundland
* 2008's Hurricane Gustav, Category 4 Storm that caused serious damage and casualties, including 102 deaths, in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and the United States.
