One of our top stories follows the events after a destructive storm passed through the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma this past Father’s Day weekend, which left many families with damaged properties, homes and roofs. An elderly couple, Jerry and Glora Noble, were in need of repairs for their home’s roof following the storm’s destruction. Thanks to the kindness of Family Tree Roofing, a local company, the Noble family received total roof repairs at no cost.  

Another top story for the month of August posed the question of whether or not a new Texas law would bring risks to construction workers and businesses.
