Storm restoration in Newton
Newton is the county seat of Jasper County in south-central Illinois, a city of about 2,800 with a quiet downtown and a storm history that includes a June 1990 F4 tornado that struck the city directly, injuring six and destroying multiple structures. The county sees 18 confirmed tornadoes since 1950, and derechos and large hail accompany the supercell systems that track northeast through the region each spring. The Embarras River and its tributaries bring recurring flash and riverine flooding, most recently prompting water rescues during heavy rain in August 2022. Winter ice storms add a secondary damage season, and the county's continental climate can deliver the kind of extended cold that turns small roof vulnerabilities into serious structural problems. Storm Damage 911 connects Newton homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free storm-damage assessment.

Local specialists for Newton storm damage
Jasper County sits in south-central Illinois within a corridor that sees regular severe weather from late winter through fall, with 18 confirmed tornadoes on record since 1950 including an F4 that struck Newton in June 1990, injuring six people and destroying multiple structures. Derechos and straight-line wind events - including the July 2024 regional derecho - drive roof and tree damage across the county's rural landscape, and large hail accompanies the supercell thunderstorms that track northeast through the region each spring. The Embarras River and its tributaries create recurring flash and riverine flood risk, most recently during the August 2022 heavy rain event that prompted water rescues across the county. Winter ice storms add a secondary damage season, with the county's record low of -28 degrees Fahrenheit in January 1994 reflecting the full severity of its continental climate.
