TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Republican National Convention scheduled in Tampa for late August would be among the casualties if the area is threatened then by a hurricane, Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll said Wednesday."Public safety - that's going to be the number one priority," Carroll said. "We can have the convention again.""I want to remind Floridians that 20 years ago the same prediction was made," Carroll said. "In August 1992, Florida was forever altered. Hurricane Andrew changed the landscape of Florida."
Governor Rick Scott will have the final word in cancellation of the RNC in the event of a Hurricane.
