Before Bob made landfall in the New England mainland, it passed directly over Block Island, Rhode Island.
Stations on the island recorded gusts to 105 mph (169 km/h) near the upper end of their range, indicating that the winds were likely stronger.
On the mainland, winds peaked at 90 mph (144 km/h) in Narragansett.
In the state, the storm surge—the rise of water above the normal tide—was 6.6 ft (2.0 m) in the capital city of Providence, while the peak storm tide—the rise of water including the normal high tide—was 16.5 ft (5.0 m) at the mouth of the Sakonnet River.
At the latter location, the estimate was based on high-water marks, which included wave effects.
The high waves resulted in extensive beach erosion along the state's coastline.
Roads were washed out in Coventry, and there was flooding reported along the Pocasset River.
Rainfall in the state peaked at 7.13 in (181 mm) in North Foster.
In Rhode Island, where the hurricane made landfall, Bob caused about 200,000 power outages; about 60% of residents in the state and southeastern Massachusetts were left without power.
During the storm, treatment plants spilled over 100 million tons of sewage due to overflow into Narragansett Bay.
Damage totaled over $115 million.

While moving over Rhode Island, the strong winds of Bob extended westward into Connecticut, peaking at 75 mph (120 km/h) near Groton; there, a gust of 100 mph (160 km/h) was reported.
High winds downed trees in every county in the state, although wind damage was heaviest in the southeastern portion near the coast.
Overall there were about 315,000 people left without power in Connecticut.
A man in Sterling died after being struck by a falling tree limb.
The highest storm surge was 5 ft (1.5 m) in New London.
Coastal flooding was limited to New London County, although coastal damage was minimal.
One woman died while on a capsized sailboat.
In Norwich, a rainfall total of 6.22 in (158 mm) was reported, which was the statewide peak.
Flooding was minor, limited to streams and small rivers.
Total damage in the state was estimated around $49 million, including $4.5 million in crop damage.
There was one death due to a fire that occurred during the storm's passage, and there were five other deaths across the state.

The most significant area affected by Bob was Massachusetts, where over $1 billion in damage occurred.
A C-MAN station in Buzzards Bay recorded winds every hour and observed peak sustained winds of 77 mph (124 km/h), along with gusts to 89 mph (143 km/h).
Sustained winds in the state peaked at 100 mph (161 km/h) in Provincetown, and there was an unofficial report of a gust of 125 mph (201 km/h) in Brewster.
Cape Cod, which was mostly east of the eye, received very little precipitation, but some of the strongest winds.
The highest rainfall total in the state was 7.06 in (179 mm) in Westfield.
Storm surges in the state were most significant along Buzzards Bay, peaking at 5.8 ft (1.8 m) in New Bedford and Woods Hole.
High waves eroded the beach around Chatham Light, leaving behind a 5 ft (1.5 m) cliff.
Other locations, including southward-facing shores along Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, lost 50 ft (15 m) of beach from erosion.
Boat damage was significant in the region.
The hurricane left over 500,000 people without power, including all of Cape Cod.
Damage was heaviest from Buzzards Bay eastward to Cape Cod, and at least 61 houses were destroyed.
Damage was also extensive to apple and peach orchards across these areas, and agricultural damage was estimated around $10 million.
The state also suffered $69 million in damage to public property.

Although it remained offshore of the state, Bob produced strong winds in New Hampshire, with gusts reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) at Pease Air National Guard Base.
Mount Washington experienced 7.46 in (189 mm) of precipitation during the storm's passage.
Both the Lovell and Contoocook rivers experienced flooding due to the storm, and widespread flooding occurred in urban areas in the south and central portions of the state.
