Hurricane Ike strikes South East American Region

Hurricane Ike is the latest storm to hit the Caribbean islands, days after Tropical Storm Hanna caused widespread destruction in the region.

At the moment, it is classified as a category 4 Hurricane, but things are expected to intensify as it edges closer to the US mainland.

If it stays on its projected path, Hurricane Ike will pass through the Cuban Island, putting the capital, Havana, at risk.

The devastation aftermath of the storm is expected to be catastrophic.

Yet another storm strikes the already devastated region.
