Lee is a small village in DeKalb County, in northern Illinois's severe-weather corridor - and the county's history includes an EF-4 tornado that struck the nearby community of Fairdale on April 9, 2015, killing two residents and causing an estimated $19 million in damage across four counties. Large hail rides in with many of the county's spring and summer supercells, and the August 2020 derecho pushed straight-line gusts above 80 mph through the area, producing structural and tree damage that rivaled a weak tornado. Winter storms pile on with heavy snow and ice accumulation that stress older roofs, gutters, and masonry common across the county's agricultural communities. Storm Damage 911 connects Lee homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors who can deliver a free post-storm assessment.

Storm damage restoration contractors in Lee
DeKalb County sits squarely in northern Illinois's severe-weather corridor, with 15 confirmed tornadoes between 1950 and 2019 including a devastating EF-4 that struck the small community of Fairdale on April 9, 2015, killing two residents and causing an estimated $19 million in damage across four counties. Large hail accompanies many of the county's spring and summer supercells, with peak severe-weather season running May through July. Derechos are a recurring threat: the August 2020 derecho drove straight-line wind gusts exceeding 80 mph across the county, causing widespread structural and tree damage comparable to a weak tornado. Winter storms deliver heavy snow and ice accumulation that overtax roofs, gutters, and older masonry on the county's many agricultural and residential structures.
