KPRC producer Erica Young talks working in TV when storm is hitting your home


Countless TV news employees must work the news during tragic situations like Hurricane Laura coverage, even when their family and home is in direct path of the storm.

To put a face on this, as the storm was making landfall and at the end of her 12 hour shift, KPRC 2 anchors Dominique Sachse and Kris Gutierrez interviewed channel 2 producer Erica Young, whose family lives in Louisiana.

She talks about what it's like covering an event like this while knowing her family is in danger.
