According to authorities, 25 people died in the storm. Forecasters upgraded tropical storm Ike to a hurricane on 03 September, as another storm pummeled parts of the Caribbean, and Louisiana residents began to return to their homes in the wake of hurricane Gustav. Ike is following close on the heels of tropical storm Hanna, which was dropped from hurricane to tropical storm status and was aiming for the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, experts said.
