Hurricanes

While we wait for more on Hurricanes Fannie and Freddie, here is an update on Hurricane Ike.

Ike is now a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale and has already caused extensive damage in the Turks and Caicos islands.

Right now Ike appears to be headed towards Cuba and then into the GOM (although south Florida isn't in the clear yet).
