Hurricane Ike is a dangerous Category 4
Ike was headed toward the Gulf and which is nobaody known, however, we do know is everything in sight is struggling. Hurricane Ike damaged most of the homes on Grand Turk island as it roared onto the Bahamas, raked flooded cities Haiti with torrential rains and threatened the Florida Keys on its way to Cuba as a ferocious Category 4 hurricane.
Turks and Caicos premier Michael Misick said Ike damaged 80 percent of the houses on the main island and that hundreds were left homeless as a hurricane hit near-direct. People has been cowering in closets and under the stairs and "just holding for life. We got hit very, very bad," he told The Associated Press Sunday.
Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos capital, home to some 3,000 people, and has little natural protection from the sea and expected storm surge up to 18 feet (5.5 meters). Rain was driving through horizontal sheets early Sunday and wind was tearing through some roofs. It was too early to tell deaths or injuries.
Ike is expected to pass north of Haiti, which is still reeling from previous storms, which left at least 600 dead. Despite escaping the monstrous winds of Ike, Haiti's northwest coast is preparing for a new onslaught, threatening the already battered country with the worst devastation.
Hurricane Ike remains a powerful Category 4 hurricane as it approaches Cuba and probably reach the island in a day or so. The big question is where Ike is likely to go once in the Gulf. The official forecast has a large cone of uncertainty, and as we are still probably at least five days from landfall is a difficult question to answer. The chances of remaining from northern Mexico to the peninsula of Florida. From Corpus Christi to the border of Louisiana and Mississippi are still the most likely landfall.
Houston, we have a problem.
