AccuWeather's world-renowned meteorologists warned businesses of severe thunderstorms in Texas and Louisiana, allowing them to be better prepared and saving lives. On the evening on January 7, severe thunderstorms swept through eastern Texas and northwest Louisiana, producing heavy downpours, golf-ball-sized hail, and gusty winds that downed powerlines and trees. Businesses that did not use AccuWeather's SkyGuard warnings service didn't get the advance warning they needed and put their people, property, and profits at risk.
• On January 5, two days before the storm hit, AccuWeather meteorologists began highlighting the threat of severe weather from southeastern Texas to areas of north-central Louisiana for the evening on January 7.
• AccuWeather indicated the risk of flooding downpours and damaging wind gusts within the strongest storms.
• Our competitors only began to outline the threat of severe thunderstorms the day the storms would develop, putting lives and businesses at risk.
