| Bus tours market foreclosed properties in Florida, Calif.
The white bus rumbles into the quiet suburban neighborhood, heading toward a foreclosed home that sits empty. Neighbors, young and old, cock their heads in curiosity or point at the slow-moving coach. Once the vehicle stops, about 20 potential buyers file out and become detectives, opening and closing cabinets and drawers, knocking on walls and asking about the price, the previous owners and what repairs may be needed. .
Former WCW wrestler found dead in Atlanta home
ATLANTA � A former wrestler was found dead in his home after suffering an apparent accidental drug overdose, his father said. Chase Tatum, 34, was found dead Sunday in his home in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood, his father, Roy Tatum, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Chase Tatum used to wrestle for the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling organization. More recently, he appeared in the comedy "Who's Your Caddy?" alongside rapper Big Boi of Outkast. Chase Tatum had been recovering from back surgery to repair a degenerative disc. His father said the former wrestler had been fighting a dependence to painkillers for years but had been planning to enter a rehabilitation center. "He was in the process of getting his life back together," Roy Tatum said Monday.
Why You Should Consider Flood Insurance Now
If you live in a flood-prone area and do not have federal flood insurance, you may be taking a dangerous gamble -- even at this time of year. That's what many homeowners discovered in the Midwest during flooding there last week. And KIRO 7 Consumer Investigator Amy Clancy says for some, the risk is high here, too. The days are getting longer, warmer and a bit drier, but in fact, spring is a dangerous season for flooding in the Northwest -- especially as our record winter snowfall begins to melt in the mountains. And as many local families have already learned, one flooded river can change their lives forever. It's a Saturday last December following heavy rains and flooding of the Chehalis River in Lewis County. Flooding left five feet of water in the home of Bob and Luana Bue, of Boistfort, destroying everything inside.
