NORTHEASTER
Name given to the stormy wind of Acts 27:14, encountered by Paul on his journey to Rome. Against his advice, the ship weighed anchor from a harbor near Lasea. Their course was “close in” along the Cretan coast, as a gentle breeze encouraged them along. Probably no further than nine miles (14.5 kilometers) out, a sudden squall threatened their tiny craft. Luke calls it a typhoon (KJB “tempestuous wind”), its name being Euroclydon, meaning “the southwest wind, that stirs up waves.”
