Hurricane Ivan moves across the Carolinas

HURRICANE Ivan extended its deadly march across the Southern United States yesterday, destroying homes, swamping streets and leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas.

Ivan was the deadliest hurricane to hit the United States since Floyd in 1999, but it could have been worse.

In all, the hurricane was blamed for 70 deaths in the Caribbean and at least 33 in the United States, 14 of them in Florida.
