Los robos de vehículos siguen preocupando a toda nuestra comunidad, y diversos cuerpos policiales alzan sus banderas para que los residentes se protejan ante este tipo de delitos.Ningún área del DMV parece estar a salvo de los robos de vehículos, algo que preocupa a las autoridades por su cercanía a la época festiva en donde este tipo de delitos parece ser más frecuente.“Pero ya sea que se trate de robo de autos, de robo de vehículos motorizados o de armas de fuego en nuestra comunidad, esas cosas están fuera de serie.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:31:07 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Brandon Pfaadt’s quick improvement on the mound has been critical for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the postseason, and Merrill Kelly’s been rock solid, delivering multiple excellent outings, including his most recent in a Game 2 win during this World Series.As for ace righty Zac Gallen? He’s been just OK.It’s been a disappointing postseason for the All-Star as he prepares to take the mound for Game 5 against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. So far in October, he has a 2-2 record and a 5.27 ERA.“We’ve got to remember that Zac spoils us,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday. “He goes out there and goes five, six, seven innings every single time. And inside of that, he might give up two or three runs, but we’re so used to him giving up zero or one runs.”Gallen has been competitive in his five postseason starts, throwing at least five innings in all of them. But he’s also given up 13 earned runs over the past 16 innings while surre...

Too hot? Help is on the way.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:31:07 GMT

Halloween highs were “frightfully hot” across south Florida. Both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale hit 90-degrees, Tuesday afternoon. At the Ft. Lauderdale – Hollywood International Airport, the 90-degree high actually tied the record for the date! If the recent heat has been too much like our long summer season, some relief will soon be a welcome thing. The change will arrive Wednesday behind a cold front. The cooling front won’t be dramatic (since the air modifies as it moves deeper to the south). Still, you’ll definitely detect a cooling difference. Adding to the milder temperatures will be stronger winds, initially coming out of the north. Winds will be gusty, at times, focusing along the Atlantic beaches and offshore. It’s worth noting that a Gale Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service. They issue this particular marine alert when there is an increased risk for a gale-force wind event (meaning sustained surface winds, or gus...
