Tropical Gaston is born. Last Hurricane to hit Charleston, ironically named "Gaston"
If I'm not mistaken, it was actually Gustav, not Gaston, that hit Charleston just a few years ago. It was originally a Tropical Storm, but after it went by the NWS recategorized it as a Cat 1 Hurricane.

Hurricane Gaston was a minimal hurricane that made landfall in South Carolina on August 29, 2004. It then crossed North Carolina and Virginia before exiting to the northeast and dissipating. The storm killed nine people — eight of them directly — and caused $130 million (2004 USD) in damage. Gaston produced torrential downpours that inundated Richmond, Virginia. Although originally designated a tropical storm, Gaston was reclassified as a hurricane when post-storm analysis revealed it had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (Category 1 hurricane strength).[1]
