Hurricane Ike is heading towards the Cuban capital, Havana, after causing widespread flooding and damage to the country\'s eastern provinces.
Tens of thousands of people are reportedly being moved from vulnerable areas and crumbling buildings in the capital.
Ike lashed eastern Cuba with torrential rain and giant waves on Monday, killing four people.
One person was reportedly killed by a falling tree, an elderly woman died when her house collapsed and two others were electrocuted.
Although Ike has weakened to a Category One storm, forecasters said it could strengthen before hitting Havana.
Before hitting Cuba Ike caused 61 deaths in Haiti.
