A group of tourists, gathered on a large rock overlook to watch the fury of Hurricane Bill as it swept up the Eastern Coast of the U.S. were themselves swept out to sea by a giant rogue wave. It was not known how many perished in the swirling, roiling waters of the hurricane. Two adults and a child were pulled from the ocean but only one of them survived, a woman.
