Today August 23rd 2009 Hurricane Bill swept into New England causing high surf on the islands and coast on Massachusetts no injuries were reported. Some daring folks took to the waves to surf.
Maine was not so lucky. Hurricane Bill created very high surf along the central coast and while observing the waves from the rocky shoreline in Acacia National Park 20 people were swept out to sea. Most were rescued or swam to shore, nine had to be hospitalized and one 7 year old girl died.
Hurricane Bill is expected to degrade to a tropical storm overnight as it passes Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland overnight.
Rescue footage and current map below.

Environment Canada has lifted its tropical storm and storm surge warnings for Newfoundland after tropical storm Bill swept through, bringing lots of wind and rain but causing no major damage.
The storm is moving out to sea northeast of St. John's at about 75 km/h.
Hurricane Bill made landfall early Monday on Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula with much less punch after knocking out power to thousands of people in Nova Scotia and soaking that province with heavy rain
