EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) - The Coast Guard says three people were
rescued at Acadia National Park in Maine and no others are believed
to be missing after a large wave washed over a crowd watching the
surf.
Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class James Rhodes says the wave
crashed over about 20 people. The man, a 12-year-old girl and
7-year-old girl who didn't make it back to shore on their own were
rescued by a 47-foot Coast Guard vessel.
The Coast Guard says the 7-year-old girl later died.
Florida officials say a 54-year-old man has died in rough waves fueled by Hurricane Bill.
Volusia County Beach Patrol Capt. Scott Petersohn says Angel
Rosa of Orlando washed ashore unconscious Saturday afternoon on New
Smyrna Beach.
