From Times Wire Reports

Hurricane Gabrielle weakened into a tropical storm as it moved toward the north Atlantic after dropping up to 11 inches of rain in Florida.

The worst of it moved well north of Bermuda, and a tropical storm warning posted for the island was lifted by late afternoon.

Gabrielle soaked Florida over the weekend, providing some relief from a drought affecting most of the state. The storm cut power to more than half a million homes and businesses, with most customers restored by the end of the weekend.
