05-23-12 JENNIFER CARROLL AT HURRICANE DRILL

Florida would postpone and hold the Republican National Convention later if a major hurricane tracks toward Tampa Bay at the end of August. That's according to Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll who attended a hurricane drill at the state Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee today.

Emergency workers are practicing that exact scenario right now. A fictitious storm named Hurricane Gispert makes landfall north of Tampa around Tarpon Springs and pushes a heavy storm surge into the bay and city.
