Lubbock

Lubbock is considered one of the best placs in the country to start a business because of its low rent for commercial space, central location, and cooperative city government.

Where to find legal assistance after a Lubbock injury accident

After a serious crash, it is crucial to get help from a Lubbock personal injury attorney who understands the local regulations and legal standards, who knows how insurance policies work, and who can handle all aspects of an insurance claim so the injured person can focus on recovery. If someone is killed in a collision, a Lubbock wrongful death attorney will launch a claim that will begin the process of financial recovery for the family members left behind.

Texas Tornado: Infant, toddler rescued from submerged truck (VIDEO)

Go to this link(link is external) to watch this incredible rescue. This is really hard to watch.

First things first: apparently everyone survived, and the baby and toddler are currently stabilized and recovering in the hospital, but that will not be super helpful to your stress level while/immediately after viewing. If you are currently the mother of young children, have a drink ready or your chosen method of self-care for when the video is done, because you will need it.
