Alva Review-Courier -

Deb and I spent some of Sunday helping in Laverne after the storm went through. We cut up limbs and hauled them to the curb. I crawled up on a roof to inspect damage and inspected some other homes and businesses for damage. Can I just say, I am super proud to be from the Laverne community? There is so much help in town today and will be for the foreseeable future.

I saw huge trees lying on their sides. I saw roofs ripped off. I saw extensive damage to property. I also saw what not only makes Laverne great but what makes all small towns out here great: a helping hand. The town was covered today...
