Storm restoration in Tamms
Tamms is a village of about 430 at the very tip of Alexander County, the southernmost point in Illinois, pinched between the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers in a geography that makes it one of the most flood-prone communities in the state. The county has experienced historically catastrophic Mississippi River flooding - a 2016 levee breach between Cairo and Thebes submerged roughly 125 structures - and Thebes recorded an all-time river crest that still stands as the county benchmark. On top of flood risk, the area lies in a path where severe convective weather brings tornadoes, large hail, and derechos across a long active season, and the county's temperature swings and annual precipitation totals leave few months without some form of storm threat. Storm Damage 911 connects Tamms homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free assessment.

Local specialists for Tamms 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.
