US-CARIBBEAN-WEATHER-IKE
This September 7, 2008 NOAA GOES color enhanced satellite image shows Hurricane Ike. Hurricane Ike, an "extremely dangerous" Category 4 storm, plowed overnight across the low-lying Turks and Caicos islands, causing some injuries and extensive damage on the British territory and tourist haven, Bahamas radio reported. At 1400 GMT Sunday the storm was raking over the southeastern Bahamian island of Great Inagua, toppling trees, blowing off roofs, causing an island-wide power failure and forcing many of its 1,000 residents to seek refuge in shelters, a resident told AFP by telephone. With winds near 215 kilometers (135 miles) per hour, Ike was to churn just north of Haiti on its way to Cuba, but further flooding in Haiti is expected as the storm's outer rain bands were to unleash downpours on the country's vulnerable northwest coast.
