| Tropical Storm Bill rapidly developed in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday June the 29th and came ashore in Southeastern Louisiana on Monday June 30th with sustained winds of 60 mph (97 kph/52 kts). Thousands of homes in Louisiana lost power during the storm and damaging rainfall amounts associated with Bill and its remnants caused flooding in states throughout the Southeast. At least 8 inches (203 mm)of rain fell in Pascagoula, Mississippi (on the border with Alabama) though rainfall and tornadoes also caused problems into Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

Tropical Depression #2 also formed in the Atlantic on June 10, but rapidly degenerated into a tropical wave just one day later. However, it is only the third tropical cyclone to form east of the Lesser Antilles in June since 1967, according to the NOAA's National Hurricane Center. |
