Hurricane Ike is a phrase used to name a specific tropical cyclone, not a standard verb. In usage, it can function as a proper noun in references to the 2008 Atlantic hurricane Ike, or colloquially as shorthand for describing damage from a hurricane named Ike. As a spoken phrase, it’s important to stress the two components distinctly: HUR-ri-cane I-keh, with the storm name treated almost as a compound proper noun.
