Following tornadoes that ripped through the region several days prior and destroyed their home, Cindy and Roy Gage sit together while Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) volunteers serve to remove debris on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, in Blair, Neb. Cindy was in their home when a tornado smashed through the house and toppled the couch on top of her and shielded her from the falling debris. LCMS Communications/Erik M. Lunsford
