Storm restoration in Brighton
Brighton is a small village in Macoupin County in west-central Illinois, a community surrounded by the agricultural flatlands that give spring supercells and derechos a clear path across the region. Macoupin County has recorded 55 tornadoes since 1950 and carries a hail risk score that ranks it among the most exposed counties in Illinois, with golf-ball-size or larger hail a recurring reality each warm season. The June 2023 derecho tracked directly through the region with gusts exceeding 80 mph, and flash flooding along Macoupin Creek and its tributaries is a persistent threat after heavy convective rainfall. Winters in Carlinville, the county seat, routinely drop below zero Fahrenheit, and ice storms and heavy snow periodically damage roofs and snap utility lines. Storm Damage 911 connects Brighton homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free post-storm assessment.

Macoupin County sits in the heart of west-central Illinois's severe weather corridor, recording 55 tornado events since 1950 and experiencing active supercell thunderstorms each spring and early summer. The county is regularly struck by large hail - reports of golf-ball-sized or larger stones are common, and the area carries a hail risk score near 94 out of 100 - along with damaging straight-line winds and derechos; the June 2023 derecho tracked directly through the region with gusts exceeding 80 mph.
