AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions was the only weather provider that issued real-time, advanced, and detailed warnings ahead of three separate costly weather events.
On August 24, 2016, tornadoes – unforecast by some – cut a wide swath of damage from southwest Ontario to central Indiana. Again, AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions’ SkyGuard® tornado warnings proved to be the “gold standard” for enterprises wanting to protect their people, property and profits.
For those relying on the U.S. National Weather Service and for those relying on governmental weather officials in Canada, there was one set of outcomes:
“Tornado warnings must be improved” -The Peterboro (Canada) Examiner, September 5, 2016
“Residents and a local politician are among those criticizing Environment Canada’s tornado warning methodology after two different twisters ripped through Windsor, Ont., and the neighbouring bedroom community of LaSalle on Wednesday night.” -Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, August 25, 2016
“I just held onto my buddy and I was thinking in my head, ‘we don’t have a chance’!” -Worker in heavily damaged factory in Windsor, Ontario, where no advanced warning for the tornado was given.
