Tornado!  The mere word conjures up fear.  Lubbock, TX has experienced 92 tornadoes over the past 56 years according to http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com/tornado/Texas/Lubbock  Lubbock averages more than one tornado in the county each year.  So there’s no question that we have an abundance of activity that regularly strikes our town.

On May 11, 1970, Lubbock experienced its most powerful and deadly storm in history.  By the time the wind subsided, there were 26 lives lost, 1,500 injured, and over $200,000,000 in damages.  http://www.lubbocktornado1970.com/  So history has shown that Lubbock has experienced a storm as powerful as the Moore storm.

So, Lubbock could be the next Moore.  We have to be prepared to save lives and early warning is the best system known to reduce casualties.  Insurance is the only mechanism in place to avoid financial disaster.  Please make certain that your insurance is in force and doesn’t lapse.  One of the best ways to do that is to take advantage of the automatic payment systems that most carriers have available.  Don’t use your bank’s system to pay a bill.  Use the Insurance company’s system to take the premium out of your bank account.  Much less risk!

I hope we don’t ever have another storm like Moore, OK experienced, but let’s be prepared.  LUBBOCK, buy your home insurance and auto insurance today through Hettler Insurance by calling 806-798-7800.
