<P> Ike developed from a tropical wave west of Cape Verde on September 1 and strengthened to a peak intensity as a Category 4 hurricane over the open waters of the central Atlantic on September 4 as it tracked westward . Several fluctuations in strength occurred before Ike made landfall on eastern Cuba on September 8 . The hurricane weakened prior to continuing into the Gulf of Mexico , but increased its intensity by the time of its final landfall on Galveston , Texas on September 13 . The remnants of Ike continued to track across the United States and into Canada , causing considerable damage inland , before dissipating two days later . </P>
