Hurricane Jeanne targets Bahamas and Florida

A revitalised Hurricane Jeanne was tonight on a path for the Bahamas and then on to the Atlantic coast of Florida, a state still reeling from three earlier storms.

Bahamians strapped plastic sheeting over holes in their roofs left by Hurricane Frances and prepared to face Jeanne, which made an elaborate loop out in the Atlantic and turned its sights on the chain of islands it threatened just last week.
