Bill Downgraded to a Tropical Storm After Child Dies From Rogue Wave Rogue Wave Results in Death of 7-Year-Old Girl in Maine’s Acadia National Park By KATE BARRETT Aug. 24, 2009 Hurricane Bill is no longer a hurricane, but the storm nevertheless brought tragedy this weekend along the U.S. East Coast. Before being downgraded this morning to a tropical storm as it made landfall on the Canadian Province of Newfoundland, Bill sent impressive waves crashing onto Maine’s coast. On Sunday, one of those waves swept nearly a dozen people into the ocean in Maine’s Acadia National Park — resulting in the death of 7-year-old Clio Axilrod from New York City. Clio was pulled from the surf by the U.S. Coast Guard along with her father Peter Axilrod, Maine Marine Patrol said in a Monday statement. Both Peter Axilrod and his wife Sandra Kuhach remain hospitalized with injuries today in Maine. In total, nine people involved in Acadia’s emergency about five miles south of Bar Harbor, Maine, were hospita
Peter Axilrod, 55, who just had a heart bypass operation, was in intensive care at the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. Video released by the Coast Guard showed him screaming in pain as, strapped to a stretcher to protect his spine, he was transferred from a rescue boat. Friends said he doted on Clio, who was adopted from China as a baby, and would have dived into the stormy seas to save her if the monster wave hadn’t taken him away, too. The girl’s mom, Sandra Kuhach, 51, was also hospitalized, according to the Maine Marine Patrol. Her injuries were unknown. Clio was about to go into the second grade at the Town School on the upper East Side. Her mother wanted to make sure she knew how to swim and regularly took her to the pool on the roof of their East End Ave. high rise, neighbors said. The family was among as many 10,000 people who gathered on the ledges and cliffs of Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor on Sunday to watch the spectacular surf kicked up by Hurricane Bill. Wi
