Cuba Resists Hurricanes.

The Caribbean island of Cuba has resisted the attacks of recent hurricanes even though Cubans suffered at least five deaths.

According to MISNA Agency, Hurricane Ike has moved away from Cuba into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Recently downgraded to a "Category 1 storm" on the five-step hurricane intensity scale, Ike could regain power revving up to a "Category 3". It is expected to hit the coast of Texas in five days.

The 200 thousand houses Ike has wrecked join the other 120 thousand affected by Gustav, another powerful hurricane that struck Cuba on August 30.
