Storm restoration in Gays
Gays is a small Moultrie County village in central Illinois with a population around 218, situated in a region where the state's tornado corridor intersects with the flat open plains that accelerate any storm system tracking northeast. The county has recorded 14 confirmed tornadoes since 1950, with EF1 and EF2 events as recently as 2025, and large hail and straight-line gusts exceeding 75 mph are a recurring feature of the spring and summer convective season. Derechos tracking west to east across the Illinois plains are capable of producing widespread roof and siding damage across rural and residential structures with minimal warning. Winter brings ice accumulation and heavy snow that stress structures and power infrastructure throughout the county from November into March. Storm Damage 911 connects Gays homeowners with vetted, licensed local professionals for a free damage assessment.
