Flood Mitigation: A step forward for McCook Lake residents
NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. (KCAU) — Another step forward on Monday night for McCook Lake residents, as additional flood mitigation plans are getting attention. After previously reviewing three mitigation plans, not all receiving support from residents, commissioners now have two additional plans to consider. This brings the to total to five mitigation plans to divert water should severe flooding happens again. The new options being developed by Stockwell Engineering add extra levies and channels further controlling the path flood water would take. The commissioners continue work to send a hazard mitigation grant application to FEMA including all five plans. After public hearings, one will eventually be chosen.

'In the meantime, we need to be applying for FEMA funding by May. So, we're going to turn that application in alternates, contingent on us choosing one.' The commissioners also approved a bid to repair part of the Dakota Valley School parking lot that was damaged by equipment used during the flood event, in addition the bid would include a new sidewalk to be placed through Northshore Drive, where there was one previously. 'We're also worried about the safety of the students going to Dakota Valley School. So we're going to add a bike path along the road, and tonight, it sounds like we might be able to add some concrete barriers in between the motorists and the pedestrians, so that we can make sure it's safe,' said Bogenrief. The next meeting will be Tuesday, May 27, at 4:00 p.m. at North Sioux City City Hall. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Preparing your vehicle's insurance for Siouxland's severe weather
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Siouxland is entering severe weather season, so it's time to make sure you're prepared for potential hail damage. According to AAA, an average of 245,000 auto insurance claims are filed for hail damage each year, which can make it difficult for Sioux Auto Body to get your vehicle in for repairs. 'All of a sudden you have, you know, 100 people that want their car fixed, so scheduling to be difficult,' said Costa Tsiobanos, the manager of Sioux Auto Body Jake Goodin with Goodin Insurance said the first thing you need to do when your vehicle has been damaged by hail is to file a claim as soon as possible. 'Tow to Go' returns this Memorial Day 'If you do experience any type of damage, the first thing that you want to do is maybe take some photos and or videos, and the next thing would be to contact your insurance agent to set up a claim,' said Jake Goodin. Whether your hail damage repairs are covered by your insurance depends entirely on the type of policy you have. Goodin said liability coverage will not cover for the damage, but comprehensive coverage will. 'It'd be everything but collision is what it is. So, if you had a tree limb fall on your vehicle or if you had a hailstorm, that would be covered under comprehensive coverage' Therefore, Tsiobanos said people typically wait to get the check from their insurance before they get the repairs done to their vehicle. 'That way they can make sure that they get paid in full, you know, if they pay the shop up front, sometimes they can get the run around trying to collect money from the insurance company,' said Tsiobanos.

'Usually it's a catastrophic type of event. When we have large hailstorm that doesn't really impact your rates to file a claim, but, you know, with the amount of storms that we've had, rates tend to go up still,' commented Goodin. 'Typically, if it's pretty small damage, you may want to just have a roofer come out and do an inspection on it to see if it is a very large claim.' The best way to protect your car from any hail damage is to store it in a garage or to cover your vehicle in thick blankets. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
