The storm brought dark skies to New England during a time of year usually reserved for sunshine and cookouts. It was also unseasonably cold, with temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) in Portland, Maine; Providence, Rhode Island; and Montpelier, Vermont. The storm was expected to linger into Friday.A nor’easter is an East Coast storm that is so named because winds over the coastal area are typically from the northeast, according to the National Weather Service. The storms can happen at any time of the year, but they are at their most frequent and strongest between September and April, according to the service.

The storms have causedin damage in the past. They usually reach the height of their strength in New England and eastern Canada. The storms often disrupt traffic and power grids and can causeto homes and businesses.

“We have a stronger jet stream, which is helping intensify a low pressure system that just happens to be coming up the coast. And so that’s how it got the nor’easter name,” said Kyle Pederson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boston.The storm hit Boston with heavy rains and stiff wind starting Thursday morning. Southern Massachusetts was also dealing with heavy rains that made for messy morning and evening commutes.

The heaviest rain was expected to fall in Rhode Island and southern and eastern Massachusetts, Pederson said. Localized nuisance flooding and difficult driving conditions were possible Thursday, but catastrophic flooding was not expected.

Providence was hit with wind and steady rains by midafternoon. Further north, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, lobster boats shook on the water as high winds brought choppy seas.EVERGLADES, Fla. (AP) — As a boy, when the water was low Talbert Cypress from the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida rummaged through the Everglades’ forests, swam in its swampy ponds and fished in its canals.

But the vast wetlands near Miami have radically changed since Cypress was younger. Now 42 and tribal council chairman, Cypress said water levels are among the biggest changes. Droughts are drier and longer. Prolonged floods are drowning tree islands sacred to them. Native wildlife have dwindled.“It’s basically extremes now,” he said.

Tribal elder Michael John Frank put it this way: “The Everglades is beautiful, but it’s just a skeleton of the way it used to be.”The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has long fought to heal and protect the Everglades and what remains of their ancestral lands. (AP video: Daniel Kozin)
