Hurricane Ike kills four as winds ravage Cuba
Tuesday, 9 September 2008
In Cuba four people have been killed by Hurricane Ike.
Over 1.2 million people have been forced from their homes.
Ike made landfall on eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, then weakened as it ran along the length of the Caribbean's largest island.
State-run Cuban media reported widespread damage throughout the eastern provinces and showed videos of toppled trees, destroyed homes and downed power lines.
Meanwhile US residents from Florida to Texas are now braced for Ike's next hit.
It is now a Category One storm, but forecasters expect it to strengthen again before hitting the US.
