HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) - Police warned people in low-lying areas to evacuate their homes Monday and islanders rushed to stock up on emergency supplies against Hurricane Gert, the biggest storm to threaten Bermuda in a decade. Hundreds of tourists fled the island and an already struggling tourist industry began counting the cost. The government issued a hurricane warning Monday as forecasters warned of high, battering waves and a storm surge of up to 3 feet. "It's a threat to Bermuda. ... It's a strong storm," said Public Safety Minister Paula Cox. The last time Bermuda suffered major damage from a hurricane was in 1987, when Hurricane Emily hit the island, moved offshore, then struck again.
