Miami's Underwater Homeowners To Get New Chance for Help This Week
Irene Duda lives on a fixed income but saw her mortgage double when the lender went out and purchased flood insurance on the open market, she says. Duda, who is fighting foreclosure, is far from alone, as thousands of South Florida residents are caught in the same situation ? underwater and with no hope in sight. But real help, not just lip service, is on the way, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson says, as the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America will be coming to Miami for five days later this week.
Parts of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties are under an urban flood advisory, the National Weather Service said.
David Ross, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said they issued the advisory for Northeast Miami-Dade and Southeast Broward as of 12:37 p.m. Saturday. The advisory will remain in effect until 3:30 p.m.
Ross said there is a potential for severe thunderstorms and one to two inches of rain are expected.
