Ike remnants blamed for Midwest deaths, blackouts
By DANIEL J. YOVICH – 22 minutes ago
CHICAGO (AP) — Residents of the Midwest faced blackouts affecting nearly 1.5 million homes and businesses, flooded homes and streets clogged by fallen trees Monday after a weekend of devastating weather caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ike.
The violent weather in the Midwest, the latest in a brutal summer that has slammed parts of the region with severe flooding, brought Ike’s total death toll to at least 34 in nine states from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley.
