Jamaica's death toll from Tropical Storm Nicole rose to 12 Thursday and forecasters said the storm's remains would hit like a hurricane on the U.S. Atlantic Coast from the Carolinas to New England. Nicole was a minimal tropical storm for just six hours on Wednesday, but the broad, ragged system poured heavy rain onto Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, south Florida and the Bahamas.
