Understanding the Hailstorm Impact in the Midwest Region
Hello, Midwest community! As we have experienced, the hailstorm on July 28th, 2023, was quite severe. With a significant impact on our neighborhoods, the urgency to restore, rebuild, and repair is more pressing than ever.
The recent Storm Prediction Center (SPC) reports give a clear picture of the event’s severity. Overall, an alarming 793,356 homes in the Midwest region were affected by up to 3″ hail. Specifically, in the Chicago, IL area, 170,646 homes were impacted, and in Rockford, IL, 85,605 homes faced the storm’s wrath.
Midwest Hail Reports and the Need for Immediate Restoration
Hail reports from different locations across the Midwest show the scale of potential damage:
- 1.25″ hail reported 1 mile east of Warrenville in DuPage, IL,
- 1.5″ hail detected 1 mile SSW of Winfield in DuPage, IL, causing minor leaf damage and car dents,
- 1″ hail found in West Chicago, Wheaton, and Glen Ellyn in DuPage, IL,
- 1.25″ hail near Carol Stream in DuPage, IL,
- 1″ hail reported in Sycamore in De Kalb, IL.
The size of the hailstones points towards potential damage to roofing materials, windows, and sidings.
