A baby lies his mother's lap at a maternity hospital which was turned into a shelter for pregnant women and mothers in Havana September 9, 2008. Strong winds howled in the streets of Havana and thousands huddled in shelters as Hurricane Ike made its second Cuban landfall on Tuesday on a path that began to look less threatening for the heart of U.S. oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
