Hundreds of thousands of residents around the Caribbean are moving away from coastal areas as Hurricane Ike powers toward them.
Early Sunday the Category 4 storm passed the Turks and Caicos island groups towards Cuba. Officials in the north of Haiti are evacuating citizens who are still recovering from Tropical Storm Hanna that killed at least 500 people in Haiti. Meteorologists in the United States have called Ike "extremely dangerous" and say it could dump as much as 30 centimetres of rain and cause massive storm surge flooding.
