Hurricane Ike in inland North America were unusually intense and
included widespread damage across all or parts of eleven states -
Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia, and into parts of
Ontario as Ike, which had rapidly become an extratropical cyclone, was
enhanced by an adjacent frontal boundary and produced widespread winds
with gusts to hurricane-force in several areas. In addition, significant
flooding which was already underway due to heavy rain from the front to
the north was worsened by rainfall brought on by Ike in parts of
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana to the west of the center.
