The overall appeal of New West Fest 2007 and Bohemian Nights was evident in the eyes of the summer-loving and ex- perimental folks who attended the annu- al event.

Bracing for the storm to hit on Sunday, Jamaica issued a hurricane warning and began evacuating people to more than 1,000 shelters nation- wide. People jammed supermar- kets and hardware stores in the capital of Kingston to stock up on canned food, bottled water, flashlights, batteries, lamps and plywood, while shop own- ers hammered wood over win- dows at malls in the city. Resident Elaine Russell said she was getting ready for the storm remembering Hur- ricane Ivan's destruction in 2004. "I can't take it," she said. "The storm is bad enough but it's what happens afterward – there's no light, no water." Before dawn, tourists be- gan lining up outside the Mon- tego Bay airport in western Ja- maica to book flights out. The storm, which had maximum sustained winds of 145 mph late Saturday, was expected to bring as much as 20 inches of rain to the island. Shante Morgan of Moor- park, Calif., said a lack of in- formation about the severity of the storm was fueling the fear. "People are freaking out because they're not getting answers at their hotel," said Morgan, 38, who got a Satur- day flight after waiting several hours. "They're really playing down the potential influence of the hurricane." Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller called for a halt to campaigning for the Aug. 27 general elections, saying: "Let us band together and unite in the threat of this hurricane." Further west in the low- lying Cayman Islands, the gov- ernment issued a hurricane warning late Saturday and ordered a mandatory evacua- tion by noon Sunday of Little Cayman, the smallest of the territory's three islands. The islands were expected to take a direct hit on Monday. Earlier in the day, lines of tourists waiting for flights snaked out of the internation- al airport terminal and onto the lawn outside. Many tourists flopped under a tree to get out of the sun, surrounded by their lug- gage. Cayman Airways added 15 flights to Florida from the wealthy British territory, and they were quickly sold out. The scene was relatively calmer in the Dominican Re- public. Residents ran errands at stores with fully stocked shelves, despite government advisories about heavy rains and possible flooding. "Nothing's going to hap- pen here – a lot of water but nothing else," said Pedro Alva- jar, 61, as he sat in a doorway selling lottery tickets. The outer bands of the storm were expected to bring as much as 10 inches of rain to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, which share the island of Hispaniola. In Haiti, the government issued radio alerts for people in the mountains and coastal areas. In 2004, Tropical Storm Jeanne brushed the impover- ished and heavily deforested country, triggering massive floods that killed 1,900 people and left 900 others missing.
