What to do if your car has been flooded in a storm
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen caused significant flooding, leaving many like Donald Baba with damaged vehicles. His car, submerged halfway in water, is among numerous affected vehicles. Jed Stone, an auto repair shop owner, advises that vehicles filled more than halfway with water are considered totaled. It’s crucial not to start flooded cars, as doing so can cause further damage. Instead, owners should have their vehicles towed for inspection and documentation for insurance claims. To be covered for flood damage, comprehensive insurance is necessary; otherwise, repairs will be out-of-pocket. Immediate action can minimize long-term damage, leading to a better recovery.
Hundreds of Tampa Bay residents are dealing with the impacts of flooding, not just in their homes but their vehicles. Here’s what you need to know if your car was flooded.

SUMMARY: As Donald Trump begins his second term, many undocumented immigrants and those with temporary legal status fear deportation. Nora Sandigo, a legal guardian for over 2,000 children, helps families prepare by advising them to carry key documents and know whom to contact. Many, like Erlinda from El Salvador, worry about being separated from their children. Deportation plans appear uncertain, but the threat remains, especially for sanctuary cities like Chicago, which has reinforced policies against local cooperation with immigration authorities. Religious leaders in these areas are speaking out in solidarity with the immigrant community, emphasizing their city’s legacy of inclusion.
