I haven't looked to see where people are finding their pictures but this is the page I use for finding historical hurricane images.

(thats certainly looks like it was very close to being a hurricane,I'd go as far and say it was,even though it was breif.)

It was upgraded a while after the event.

Was it P.K???

I can't remember that.Have you got a link at all P.K,was it upgraded at the same time Charley was upgraded to cat-3 when it Cuba???



although that wouldn't suprise me,certainly could have been a decent cat-1 had it another few hours out at sea.

Gaston was strengthening up until landfall, and was operationally assessed to be a strong tropical storm when it crossed the coast. Unfortunately, no reconnaissance data were available in these last hours. However, a post analysis of Doppler velocity data from the Charleston and Wilmington NWS radars shows that Gaston had winds aloft that support a reclassification to a hurricane. The Wilmington radar observed a roughly 3 n mi wide patch of average winds of 71 kt or more in the southeast quadrant between 1130 and 1200 UTC on 29 August. These winds were observed at an altitude of about 11000 ft, and would correspond to roughly 64 kt at the surface using standard adjustment factors. The Charleston radar observed a similarly-sized area in the northwest quadrant that also supports 64 kt surface winds. Neither radar had a good look at the northeast quadrant, where the strongest winds would have been expected. Based on these observations, Gaston has been posthumously upgraded to a hurricane.

KWT the above is an extract from the Gaston Report about why they revised the intensity from a tropical storm to a Minimal Hurricane.
