Storm damage restoration in Cowden
Storm Damage 911 is a free matching service that connects Cowden homeowners with vetted, licensed, insured storm damage restoration contractors serving Shelby County. Shelby County sits in central Illinois within the heart of the Midwest severe weather corridor, making it vulnerable to the full range of warm-season hazards.
Cowden is a small Shelby County village in central Illinois, one of many tight-knit communities across a county that sits in the core of the Midwest severe weather corridor. The county has seen 35 tornadoes since 1950, and the December 2021 tornado that tracked 41 miles left a significant mark on the region's recent memory. The July 2024 derecho brought widespread straight-line wind damage and over 2 inches of rainfall across Shelbyville, Moweaqua, and Windsor. Kaskaskia River drainage makes low-lying areas susceptible to flooding, and the roughly five severe winter storms the region averages annually put rural overhead lines and rooftops at regular risk. Storm Damage 911 connects Cowden homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free assessment.
