america is waiting to feel the effects tomorrow. it is not expected to make landfall in the u.s., but nonetheless the danger is significant. our sharyn alfonsi is in cape cod with the latest. >> the cape is bracing for bill tonight, the storm is expected to bring heavy surf and strong rip tides. from north florida all the way to new england. from space, bill looks like a beast. more than 700 miles across. nearly as wide as the state of texas. >> bill is a scary looking storm, but it's not going to be visiting anybody along the eastern seaboard of the united states. so the big impact going to be rough surf and again, perhaps some tropical storm-force wind gusts out on cape cod. the area there's -- area that's taking a beating is nova scotia sunday afternoon. >> bill is hundreds of miles off shore, but agitating water ace long the atlantic coast from northern florida to new england. and in new york, eight-foot waves forced beach closures in
