Flooding and confirmed tornadoes caused damage in parts of Oklahoma and Missouri overnight and into Wednesday afternoon. Flooding was reported in Branson, Missouri, as well as several other areas, including Abilene, Texas, and Bentonville, Arkansas.

Texas is still shaking from one of the most damaging natural disasters in recent history. In February 2021, the southern state and its surrounding neighbors fell prey to Winter Storm Uri -- a deep freeze event that saw temperatures plummet as low as -18C.

Some homeowners and car owners in parts of Williamson and Travis counties are dealing with damage after Thursday’s hail storm.

A record-breaking natural disaster, Winter Storm Uri, is slated to result in the largest amount of insurance claims in Texas history from a single event. The winter storm swept through the state causing widespread power outages, water shortages, frozen pipes that burst and flooded buildings, snow or ice damage to buildings, fires, car accidents and deaths.

In its lawsuit, Everest seeks a decision relieving it from having to defend Megasand from claims that its discharges worsened flooding following Hurricane Harvey.

Last month’s winter storm that left dozens of Texans dead, millions without power, and nearly 15 million with water issues could wind up being the costliest disaster in state history.

As Texas begins to thaw out from single-digit temperatures, the state is facing the specter of water damage caused by frozen and burst pipes.

Although I am a native Texan, I grew up in Wisconsin. Therefore, I am no stranger to cold weather or the devastating effects it can have on people and property.

Coverage litigation arising from Winter Storm Uri’s impact on Texas is likely to be significant, due to the vast number of businesses hit both within the state and beyond, legal experts say.
