When Judy Oliphant, an English nurse living in the southwestern county of Devon, stumbled upon a family of hedgehogs in her stable one day, she was surprised. The small, spiny animals were becoming a rare sight in the countryside.

Hundreds of thousands of Floridians began returning home Thursday after the second major hurricane within two weeks crashed into the western coast of their state, bringing winds topping 100 mph, multiple feet of storm surge, and the fear of a new era of supercharged extreme weather.

Hundreds of thousands of Floridians began returning home Thursday after the second major hurricane within two weeks crashed into the western coast of their state, bringing winds topping 100 mph, multiple feet of storm surge, and the fear of a new era of supercharged extreme weather.

Fascinating story on cryopreserving corals -- a process that apparently involves washing them in antifreeze and gold -- by my former classmate @_brentmfoster. Great piece of science writing! https://t.co/VlzStzVy2R
Cedar Key is one of the last outposts of "Old Florida," a place where many people still make a living on the water. They work hard to protect their way of life, but are clear-eyed about the risks from storms and rising seas. My story for @csmonitor https://t.co/fpm0OtkiEL
Florida's wild places are vanishing beneath subdivisions, big-box stores, strip malls and roads as the state's population booms. Ranchers are playing an increasingly important role in protecting those lands from development. My story for @csmonitor https://t.co/XF9efsEj05
