Storm restoration across Livingston County

Livingston County sits in central Illinois squarely within the state's tornado corridor, making it vulnerable to supercell thunderstorms capable of producing significant tornadoes and extreme hail. In March 2026, a single supercell spawned multiple tornadoes across the county and produced hailstones measuring up to 5.5 inches in diameter near Campus, approaching Illinois state-record size. The county is also exposed to derechos - fast-moving squall lines that produce widespread straight-line wind damage - with a major derecho crossing the region in August 2020. Winter brings its own hazards, including ice storms and heavy snow events that damage roofs, gutters, and siding across the county's rural and small-town building stock.
