The second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane of the season, Bill later peaked with a top wind speed of 140 MPH, eventually making landfall in Cape Fear, North Carolina as an 80 MPH Category 1 hurricane. Damage throughout the state was extensive, totaling $170 million, though not a single death was attributed to its initial landfall. Bill also indirectly affected the Greater Antilles while a Category 4, with the storm responsible for life-threatening swells that triggered rough seas and powerful rip currents. A total of six people died as a result of being pulled out to sea and eventually drowned by rip currents. Bill was also responsible for significant beach erosion along the northern ends of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. In North Carolina, torrential rainfall and destructive winds were reported, with damages considerable due to the exacerbated effects of the wind. Bill then shifted northeast as it made landfall in Newfoundland as weak tropical storm, where damages were reported to be minimal. Collectively, Hurricane Bill caused nearly $235 million in damages, with a total of seven fatalities directly attributed to the storm.
