Hurricane Ike Smashes West Through Caribbean

After the hurricane hitted Texas, Lousiana and other neighboring states another hurricane struck the country. MIAMI — Hurricane Ike barreled west across the already beleaguered islands of the Caribbean on Sunday, raising the death toll and destruction across the waterlogged region. For me, this is a great awakening for everybody. As what stated in the Bible, all this things will happen in the last days.

In Haiti, where the fourth-largest city, Gonaïves, remained underwater from Hurricane Gustav, rain fell and at least 10 more people died of drowning, according to reports from news services. By late Sunday the number of people reported killed in Haiti just from the effects of Hurricane Ike reached at least 58. The total of those killed in Haiti in the recent storms was in the hundreds.
In Cuba, where relief efforts from Hurricane Gustav were under way in the west, the government evacuated vulnerable communities as the new hurricane bore down on the island with heavy winds and rain that could total 10 inches. That was horrible! As I read the news online I saw those evacuators who trying to save their belongings but sad to say they lost it.
