US-CARIBBEAN-WEATHER-IKE
This September 8, 2008 NOAA satellite image shows Hurricane Ike seen at 1445 GMT. Killer Hurricane Ike moved out over open water Monday off Cuba's southern coast but continued hammering the island, as forecasters predicted a strengthening of the storm before it heads back over land toward the capital Havana. The storm, which has left a trail of destruction through the Atlantic and Caribbean including 61 dead in Haiti, maintained Category Two status and winds near 160 kilometers (100 miles) per hour as it shifted west off Camaguey province and over the Ana Maria gulf, the US National Hurricane Center reported in its 1800 GMT bulletin. "Some strengthening is possible during the next day or so while the system is over water," the NHC said. Ike was about 405 kilometers (250 miles) east-southeast of Havana as of 1800 GMT, and with the NHC now forecasting the storm to hug the southern coastline and track further to the south of the city of 2.2 million people than predicted earlier Monday.
