(WSB Radio/AP) -- Ike is roaring across Cuba, tearing off roofs and dropping sheets of rain, some of it coming down sideways. 900,000 people on the island nation are in shelters as the storm moves slowly across the country. Ike made landfall as a Category-3 hurricane late Sunday night after raking the Bahamas and worsening floods in Haiti that have already killed 319 people.

Texas and Louisiana are among the likely targets. Read more... | Ike-Andrew comparisons | National Hurricane Center updates | Keys prepare for Ike | Raw Video: Ike's harsh impact on Turks and Caico
