| episode_narrative | Hurricane Bill passed well east of the Mid Atlantic coast during the 22nd, while a cold front was approaching from the west. Swells from Hurricane Bill led to rough surf, moderate to severe erosion and numerous and strong rip currents from Friday the 21st through Monday the 24th. The worst conditions occurred on Saturday the 22nd as Bill made his closest pass to the region. Waves reached up to 10 feet along the coast and led to numerous water rescues, bathing restrictions and a few injuries. A 19-year-old surfer suffered a head injury on the 21st in Seaside Heights (Ocean County). A 23-year-old man was injured after being struck in the head by his surfboard on the 22nd in Ocean Grove (Monmouth County). Two other men fell off of their jet skis near Manasquan Inlet (Monmouth County) and had to be rescued by the Coast Guard. Many fishing trips were canceled and a longboard surfing contest was postponed until the following weekend in Long Beach Township (Ocean County). Bathing restrictions peaked on Saturday the 22nd, but some beaches were still closed on the 24th.||The pounding surf caused beach erosion. The worst reported erosion was in Cape May County. In Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic Counties, the vertical cuts were one foot to one and a half feet. In Cape May County, in Ocean City, near First Street, the erosion was described as severe as geotubes were exposed on Waverly Beach. A wash over occurred at North Street where the slope reached five feet. In Avalon, vertical cuts reached three to five feet on the north side of the borough. In Cape May City, a three to five foot cut in the dune occurred near Second Avenue. Other municipalities in the county reported vertical cuts that averaged one to two feet. ||No minor tidal flooding was reported along the coast due to increased seas, but the high tide reached underneath the Ocean City boardwalk on the 22nd. |
