| episode_narrative | Tropical Storm Bonnie tracked to the east-northeast well to the south of Cape Cod and the Islands. A heavy outer rain band affected a small part of southern Plymouth County. Torrential downpours occurred in the town of Plymouth, where a spotter at Whitehorse Beach recorded 4.00 inches of rainfall and another National Weather Service Cooperative Observer also in Plymouth had 3.95 inches. A spotter in Wareham recorded 2.80 inches. On Cape Cod, 1.44 inches fell in Hyannis and 1.10 inches fell in Orleans. On Nantucket Island, the rainfall totalled 1.23 inches. The strongest winds reported on land were in the range of 25 to 35 mph. Offshore, the Georges Bank Buoy reported a peak gust to 52 mph. The Nantucket Shoals Buoy had a gust to 38 mph and the Buzzards Bay Buoy recorded 31 mph. A boating accident occurred at 1215 PM one-half mile off of Wianno Beach in Osterville, but it was not directly related to the effects of Bonnie. A 50-year-old male was killed when his rowboat overturned in somewhat choppy waters; his companion was able to swim to shore. According to the US Coast Guard stationed at Woods Hole, the man was a poor swimmer, not wearing a life jacket, dressed only in shorts and t-shirt. Sea conditions at the time were 1 to 2 feet and choppy, with winds of 10 to 15 knots and a visibililty of 8 miles. |
