Turks and Caicos Tropical Weather Ike

People wait in a long line for one of the last planes to get off the Island of Providenciales before Hurricane Ike strikes the area, in the Turks & Caicos Islands, Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008. Ike is barreling toward the Turks and Caicos with 110 mph (175 kph) winds, prompting an exodus of tourists and residents from the normally idyllic Atlantic island chain. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)
