Storm restoration in Palestine
Palestine is a village of roughly 1,230 along the Embarras River in Crawford County, at the southeastern corner of Illinois where the NWS Lincoln coverage area extends into a corridor with a concentrated recent tornado history. A deadly EF-3 tracked the full length of Crawford County on March 31, 2023, killing three people, and a second tornado outbreak the following February produced an EF-1 near Flat Rock with 110 mph winds. Large hail ranging from golf-ball to baseball size is a recurring threat, and the Embarras River bottomlands near Palestine and Hutsonville flood well above flood stage during significant rain events. Winter brings ice storms and heavy snow across the county, and Robinson recorded an all-time low of minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit in December 1989 - a reminder that cold-season structural stress here is real. Storm Damage 911 connects Palestine homeowners with vetted, licensed local professionals for a free assessment.

Local specialists for Palestine storm damage
Crawford County sits in southeast Illinois within the National Weather Service Lincoln coverage area and has recorded 18 confirmed tornadoes since 1950, including a deadly EF-3 on March 31, 2023 that tracked the full length of the county from Jasper County into Indiana, killing 3 people, and a second tornado outbreak on February 19, 2026 that produced an EF-1 near Flat Rock with 110 mph winds. Large hail is a recurring threat, with reports ranging from golf-ball to baseball size, and straight-line wind events regularly accompany severe thunderstorm lines moving northeast across the county. The Embarras River, which borders and drains much of the county's eastern edge, is a persistent flood risk, reaching well above flood stage during heavy rain events, and the low-lying bottomlands around Hutsonville and Palestine are especially vulnerable. Winter weather brings ice storms and heavy snow that damage roofs, gutters, and tree canopies county-wide, with Robinson recording an all-time low of -23 degrees Fahrenheit in December 1989.
