| Intro NH Air Guard Return to index of stories... |
Immediately after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Governor Lynch committed nearly 500 NH National Guard troops to Lousiana.to assist with security in the greater New Orleans area. There were two different deployments to the hurricane zone -- the first group of Army and Air Force Guard members left NH within days of the hurricane --the second group followed in October. During the deployment -- NH guardsmen served as reinforcements for local authorities providing security at hospitals and Red Cross distribution centers and maintaining order in general. Daily patrols -- served as a deterrent to would-be assailants and those preying on evacuees. |

A warning to consumers from the state: Beware of water-damaged cars flooding the used-car market. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita -- left behind thousands of flood-damaged cars. Those water-logged lemons could make their way to a used car lot near you. It's estimated that up to a-half million vehicles were severely damaged in the hurricanes. They should all be scrapped -- but, experience tells us -- many will be returned to the road cleaned up by unscrupulous sellers and sold to unsuspecting consumers -- possibly in NH. How do you avoid getting taken? Joining me from Concord to talk about that: Assistant Attorney General Connie Stratton. Q CONNIE: How real a concern is it that these flood-damaged cars will make their way to NH??? Q Cars might look fine on the outside --but, are 'ROTTING" from the inside out. Let me go thru the Flood damage check list your office gave out: 1 check inside the trunk for evidence of moisture 2 check engine for rust, silt, or grass 3 give vehicle a smell-test.inside & out 4 check inside glove boxes where water may have been trapped 5 check interior for signs of mis-matched items 6 test all electrical components Q Other TELL-TALE signs to look for?? water stains anywhere -- recently shampooed carpets, or rust and defects in door speakers that may have been submerged. ** Q CONNIE: What about cars from ALSTEAD that might have been submerged in flood waters. Should we be concerned about cars from that area as well???? Q If you're thinking of BUYING vehicle in the next few months -- There is a FREE way to check a vehicle's IDENTIFICATION numbers -- to see if its been affected the Hurricanes. ** How does that work??? ** The LINK is on our web site. Q How important is it to get a vehicle's TITLE HISTORY? Tells where its been and what its been thru. Some dealers off it for free. Title on flood-damaged cars should read SALVAGE. carfax.com/flood.tells if vehicle was registered in FEMA disaster area Q How can you safeguard against a car being re-built and disguised as ordinary car with a clean title.???? Be wary if car doesn't have TITLE?? Q What RECOURSE do you have in NH -- if you've fallen victim to one of these CARS???' Q Would NH's LEMON Law apply -- to water-logged, flood-damaged cars??? Q As always have a professional INSPECT the vehicle. Take it to a trusted mechanic. Taking a little extra time to check out a USED car BEFORE YOU BUY. It can save you a great deal of money in the long run. CONNIE STRATTON.THANK YOU. |

Tuesday November 15: We had to wait for this pre-interview because the guest was late. So it was late to start. Then the show for the night was a late start because one of the tapes had a major hit on it. Since it was just at the beginning of the tape during the preshow not the pkg, I think it had to do how it was recorded. Also, I forgot to check to see the lightening captured keys from deko okay when we were putting the stills together. So, of course, they did not key and we had to fix that quickly. Urgh. I have got to remember to check that at the Fax check. Once we got going everything else went fine. We covered the hit during the preshow after we finished taping. The prompter was acting up this week because of "junk" on the computer. Basically, Larry explained that when people use that computer to surf the web the computer is so old it can't handle any spy ware, etc that gets put on the computer w/o the user's knowledge. He suggested we minimize the use of that computer for the web. He said occasional use by Outlook, etc. is okay but more than that can cause a problem. |
