Storm restoration in East Gillespie
East Gillespie is a small unincorporated community in Macoupin County, set in the rolling west-central Illinois countryside where the severe weather corridor runs active each spring and early summer. The county has recorded 55 tornado events since 1950, carries a hail risk score near 94 out of 100, and took a direct hit from the June 2023 derecho with gusts exceeding 80 mph. Flash flooding along Macoupin Creek and its tributaries follows the heavy convective rainfall that drives those same storm systems, and winter brings ice storms and heavy snow capable of collapsing roofs and snapping utility lines in temperatures that have historically bottomed out near minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Storm Damage 911 connects East Gillespie homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free 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.
