Strong Hurricanes Gaining Intensity

The peak of a busy hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean basin is just past, and already the number of major tropical cyclones is above average. The latest strong storm to strike land was Hurricane Ike, which left thousands without power and unable to return to the Gulf coast homes in the U.S. The situation is worse in the Caribbean, especially in Haiti, which has been devastated by a series of storms this year.
