Hurricane Bill developed into a tropical depression over the eastern Atlantic on August 15, 2009. Bill then strengthened into a hurricane over the next week, passing well to the east of Nantucket, August 22-23. While Bill passed Southern New England well offshore, he still made quite an impression on the area. Tropical moisture feeding into the area resulted in heavy rainfall which led to flooding and flash flooding. High swells churned up by Bill resulted in high surf and coastal flooding a
