Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 92,000 vehicles and tell owners to park them outside due to fire risk The recalls cover certain Hyundai Palisades, Tucson, Sonata, Elantra and Kona vehicles. Affected Kias include some Soul, Sportage and Seltos models.

We had a client who burned down their house from doing this. Please be careful.

The more electricity something uses, the more heat is generated in the wiring.

NEVER use power strips or extension cords to power an air conditioner, refrigerator, or anything that draws a lot of power. Anything that uses a lot of power should always be plugged straight into the outlet.

No extension cords. No splitters. No power strips.

We don't want to fight a fire right now. It's too hot outside.
Ask anyone who has experienced a fire, and they will tell you they are NOT fun. Zero stars - Would not recommend.

Beware of whom you choose for a financial broker.

PSA from IW

For those hitting the ocean and waves this summer.

This is really simple. You can spot a rip current. Unfortunately, it's where it looks easiest and safest to enter the sea. This is because the rip current is looping around and pulling back OUT. Hence no waves rolling IN. NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE. If you are already in the sea and get caught in a rip current (you'll know because you will suddenly be moved from your location and it will be impossible to swim against it) don't panic. Swim ACROSS, not against the rip current. For example, rather than trying to swim to shore while being pushed out, swim parallel to the beach and you will be able to get out. Then you can swim ashore. Please educate friends or family visiting the beaches this summer. Stay safe 🙏

All renters need renters insurance. Very inexpensive -- under $150 a year. The Red Cross can only do so much. Clients have told me they only receive temporary housing for two days without pets, a small $200 gift card and some tiny toiletries.
