"Family Spotlight" 9/1/11 "Shelter From The Storm"
Many people up north might have felt Hurricane Irene was overblown. But for many Floridians, it was our annual wakeup call.
No matter how many preparations we may make, however, some of us may end up in a shelter.
In the Family Spotlight, Mark Johnson, Emergency Management Director for Levy County, outlines to TV 20's David Snyder what you should expect from a shelter...and what you shouldn't.
