Formation of Ike in the Atlantic Ocean
Hurricane Ike started as a tropical wave from the coast of Africa around August 29, 2008. A few days later, on September 1, it developed to the ninth tropical cyclone of Hurricane, and then it was classified as a tropical cyclone Ike. Ike was rapidly deepened on September 3 in the morning of the 4th. We achieved four strengths at 140 mph on the Saffir-Simpson scale. After that, the northern shear shear began to take its toll and weakened the northern Leeway Islands.
Ike moves to the island
Mr. Ike moved to the Turks and Caicos Islands and south of the Bahamas in the west and southwest, so he took a new stage. The Grand Turk is on the wall of the northern eye, the Great Inagua, the Bahamas were attacked directly. A preliminary estimate that 80% of the Grand Tak 's houses are being damaged somewhat, a major damage to all of these places occurred. Ike continued to Cuba, landed on the northeast coast of Cuba. It crossed Cuba, heading west west just a short distance from the southwestern coast. After this, Ike made a second landing at the nearby western part where Hurricane Gustav landed before. Immediately after moving to the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico, Ike began to strengthen immediately. Keys received a certain degree of flood, weather was bad and reported an isolated tornado. Like Hurricane Gustav, Hurricane Ike was not significantly strengthened in the Central Mexico Bay, although its pressure was very low. The dry air on the western side of the hurricane was not organized until just before the landing.
Ike land in Texas
Storm surges flooded 24 hours before landing on the southern part of Texas and Southwest Louisiana. When Ike landed, a tide of 10-15 feet was common in this area. Ike landed at 2:10 am on 13 September at Galveston, TX. Ike was classified as category 2 hurricane with wind 110 mph, but very few profits of 100 mph or more are recorded. Despite having hundreds of feet of wind on the ground, many windows were damaged in Houston's skyscraper. Rainfall near 10 inches was reported in Houston. Because the pond joined the cold front, heavy rain continued in the central part of the United States. Electricity was lost to about 4 million people at the height of the hurricane.

In summary, Ike was a huge hurricane. The tropical cyclone wind field extended it in Katrina. In central Gulf of Mexico the wind beyond tropical storm has extended 275 miles from the center. The effect of Ike was not only felt on the coast but also spreading inland. Wind damage and flood rain followed the Ike Road to the Great Lakes South, Ohio Valley, New England. Total rainfall above 10 inches was recorded in the Great Lakes of the South. Power outages were also common due to northward wind damage to the Ohio Valley.
