Storm restoration in Pekin
Pekin is a river city of about 32,000 at the Illinois River's bend in Tazewell County, occupying terrain that places it at the intersection of several of the most active severe-weather threads in the state. The county has recorded roughly 75 tornadoes since 1950, a July 2024 derecho pushed straight-line gusts to 111 mph near Dunlap while spinning an EF-1 that tracked toward Morton, and the November 2013 EF-4 that leveled hundreds of homes in Washington demonstrated what a major tornado event looks like in this county. Illinois River flooding and periodic ice storms coating the area with a quarter-inch or more of freezing rain compound that damage picture year-round. Storm Damage 911 connects Pekin homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free assessment.

Local specialists for Pekin storm damage
Tazewell County sits in the heart of central Illinois's severe weather corridor, averaging roughly 75 tornado touchdowns since 1950 - most notably the November 17, 2013 EF4 that leveled 633 homes and caused over $800 million in damage to Washington alone, and a July 15, 2024 derecho that spawned an EF1 tornado tracking 12 miles from East Peoria through Morton toward Mackinaw while delivering straight-line gusts measured at 111 mph near Dunlap. Large hail events routinely accompany supercells tracking northeast across the Illinois River valley, with hailstones exceeding 2.5 inches recorded during derecho events. Flooding is a recurring threat along the Illinois River corridor through Pekin and Creve Coeur, and winter ice storms periodically coat the county with a quarter-inch or more of freezing rain, compounding roof load and infrastructure damage across all communities.
