The short - but eventful - life of Ike 
In its brief lifespan of only 13 days, Hurricane Ike wreaked great deal of
havoc. Affecting several countries including Cuba, Haiti, and the United States,
Ike is blamed for approximately 114 deaths (74 in Haiti alone), and damages
that are still being tallied, with estimates topping $10 billion. Many shoreline
communities of Galveston, Texas were wiped from the map by the winds,
storm surge and the walls of debris pushed along by Ike - though Galveston
was spared the level of disaster it suffered in 1900. (28 photos total)
