April showers on a rampage back East

A fierce storm that whipped the Northeast led to record rainfall in New York City, killed at least three people in New Jersey and lashed runners in the famed Boston Marathon with gale-force winds. In Bound Brook, N.J., above, flooding forced the evacuation of residents, among the thousands of people displaced in New Jersey and New York.

In Maine, 125,300 homes and businesses were without power by late afternoon in an area spanning 11,000 square miles -- nearly the size of Belgium. Runners in the Boston Marathon began the race wearing gloves and confronting sideways rain with wind gusts of up to 50 mph before conditions improved and the rain eased.
