Gulf Coast Battles Bill After Tropical Storm Lashes South
Tropical Storm Bill cut power to thousands in the Gulf Coast region as it drenched the South with heavy rain and winds near 60 mph. Two missing fishing boat crewmen were rescued in Louisiana while a levee breach flooded about a quarter of a town. One man died in Atlanta from a falling tree limb as Bill weakened to a tropical low and moved through Mississippi and Alabama. Power outages peaked at 224,000 in southeastern Louisiana, later dropping to about 21,500 by nightfall.
