JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Rick Warming's tree service is cleaning up a mess at Bob Maloney's Southside home.

Warming has a warning about 'Storm Chasers' -- that's what they're called by the Better Business Bureau. They are the guys who show up at your front door right after a storm.

"These guys are coming out in cars and trucks with no signs on them will do a little bit of the job and grab a check and leave," said Warming.

The storm chasers wanted to remove the tree from Maloney's home, even though Warming had already done most of the work.

His first rule in hiring someone that is not out for a quick buck is very simple: Find a business that is bonded, licensed and insured.

"You want a company that is reputable that does what it says it is going to do," he said. Other tips include:

- Don't be rushed into signing a contract with any company.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Residents in Ortega saw extreme flooding Monday afternoon, with several streets underwater.

At least one vehicle got stuck and had to be towed out.

Some Ortega residents said they couldn't get home, and some added a recent drainage project seemed to have made things worse instead of better.

"This is the worst flooding in 28 years, since I've been living here," said Rick Myers. "The drainage was just done in the last year so I'm not sure what happened."

"Since the drainage project it has totally flooded our yard several times," Susan Aman said. "It has definitely gotten worse instead of getting better."

Ortega residents say Monday's flooding was even worse than flooding from recent tropical storms.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- On Thursday, Woodruff Avenue in the Murray Hill area turned into a crime scene.

"There were police cars everywhere," said George Atchley.

Atchley said the silence of his quiet community was broken by the sound of gunfire and the sirens of fire engines.

"It was foggy," he said, "Toxic smoke coming off the house."

Police went to a house to question Mykhail Abordi, a.k.a. Michael Walker about charges of domestic battery and sexual abuse. It turned into a SWAT standoff, police say, until he set the house on fire.
