Tropical Storm Bill made landfall along the Louisiana Coast during the afternoon of June 30.  The storm entered Terrebonne Parrish near Terrebonne Bay,  west of Houma,  and continued on a northeast path.  This brought the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill across central Alabama on July 1.  Doppler radar estimated a large swath of 4 to 6 inches of rain across central Alabama with isolated totals approaching 8 inches. Due to the heavy rain amounts over the previous couple of months, flash flooding was experienced in many counties.  Several roadways in each county were temporarily impassable because of the high water.  Numerous creeks and streams rose quickly and flowed out of their banks.  In response to the saturated ground conditions and winds of 30 to 35 miles an hour,  numerous trees fell down.  Many of these trees landed on power lines causing some 19000 customers to lose power.  At least one automobile was destroyed by the falling trees and one roof was damaged.  One man was rescued after he drove his vehicle into high water near Loachopoka in Lee County.  A brief tornado also occurred near Pintlala in association with this tropical system.
