“I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that AccuWeather saved lives last night. I know it did.
I would encourage everyone to download the AccuWeather app and set up the emergency alerts. And when it alerts you that something is coming, listen to them. Thank you sincerely for all you do. There are at least 10 people last night who got early warning and were able to take shelter because of you. We will never be able to repay you.”
