Gordon also made landfalls in [[Jamaica]] and [[Cuba]] while a minimal tropical storm. It entered the southwestern Atlantic while resembling a [[subtropical cyclone]]. By the time it entered the [[Gulf of Mexico]], the storm was fully tropical again. Tropical Storm Gordon later crossed the [[Florida Keys]], and turning to the northeast it made landfall in [[Fort Myers, Florida]]. Gordon strengthened after it re-entered the Atlantic Ocean, becoming a hurricane on November 17.
