Hurricane Bill




Hurricane Bill was one of the largest Atlantic tropical cyclones on record, attaining a maximum gale-diameter of 460 mi (740 km). It originated in a tropical wave that emerged from the western coast of Africa on August 12. "Tracking generally west-northwestward, Bill attained hurricane status and major hurricane status on August 17 and August 18 as a Category 4 hurricane. It weakened as it veered north, passing Bermuda with little impact, and Bill lost tropical characteristics as it passed into Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. However, waves up the East Coast killed two people."
