Storm restoration in Cairo
Cairo sits at the very tip of Illinois, where the Mississippi River forms its western boundary and the Ohio River closes in from the east - a geography that makes Alexander County one of the most flood-exposed places in the state. The county also lies in a stretch of southern Illinois increasingly clipped by tornado alley as it has shifted eastward, bringing real exposure to tornadoes, large hail, derechos, and straight-line winds each spring through fall. River flooding here can be catastrophic: a 2016 levee breach near Cairo flooded roughly 125 structures, and Thebes logged an all-time crest of 47.74 feet on the Mississippi. Temperature swings from below zero to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, paired with ice storms and heavy snow, add a reliable winter damage season on top of everything else. Storm Damage 911 connects Cairo homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free storm-damage assessment.

Local specialists for Cairo storm damage
Alexander County occupies the southernmost tip of Illinois, wedged between the Mississippi River to the west and the Ohio River to the east, making it one of the most flood-prone counties in the state. The county sits within the NWS Paducah forecast area and lies in the path of Tornado Alley as it has shifted eastward into southern Illinois, exposing communities to tornadoes, large hail, derechos, and straight-line winds from spring through fall. Mississippi River flooding is a recurring and historically catastrophic hazard: in January 2016, the Len Small Levee between Cairo and Thebes breached, flooding roughly 125 structures including 50 to 60 homes, and Thebes recorded an all-time river crest of 47.74 feet. Winter storms, including ice and heavy snow, pose an additional risk given the county's annual mean precipitation of approximately 46 inches and temperature swings from below 0 degrees F to over 100 degrees F.
