Giant hurricane Ike has left Houston without Internet, phone lines, drinking water and severed power to millions after ripping through the fourth-largest city on Sunday. Ike, the first hurricane to hit a major US metropolitan area since Katrina in 2005, has affected 2.3 million people in two states before making landfall at 2.10 am on Saturday.
Giant Hurricane Ike began lashing the Texas gulf coast on Saturday with its fierce category 3 winds threatening to shut down United States' oil industry and flood the big water front area which is already under waist deep water. Ike, which has already churned through the Gulf of Mexico, is now on a collision course with Texas, where already over a million people in coastal areas have been evacuated but thousand others have ignored calls to leave, deciding to brave it out.
Met officials say the storm, that ravaged homes in Cuba and killed at least 81 people in the Caribbean, could slam into the Texas coast -- south of Galveston -- as a powerful category 3 storm late Friday or early Saturday and may intensify into category 4. Mandatory and voluntary evacuations were planned or underway in at least seven coastal counties.
