Hurricane Ike Give the Caribbean a Break.

The north coast of cuba has been hit by Ike and once more a mass evacuation has been implemented. Wind speeds above 120 miles per hour are battering the area with hurricane surge and torrential rain causing widespread flooding. They are called Hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, and Gales in the western Pacific. Now as the hurricane continues across the sea it sucks up more warm air, causing wind speeds to rise as air is sucked into the low pressure centre. An absolutely formed hurricane has an eye of calm winds where cold air descends. Here's some more news about west indies. Circulating around this eye is the warm, wet and robust maelstrom winds and clouds loaded with heavy rains of the hurricane. The iris of the hurricane came ashore near Punta Lucrecia, 510 miles to the south east of Havana.
