Storm Exposure in McHenry County
McHenry County sits at the northwest edge of the region, where storm systems often organize before pushing into the denser suburbs. Open ground and less wind shelter mean straight-line wind damage shows up on roofs here that would have been protected elsewhere.
Much of the local housing stock went up in concentrated subdivision waves, so entire streets reach the end of shingle service life within a few years of one another. That is why one hail event can produce a cluster of legitimate claims on the same road.
You can confirm the date of a local storm through the National Weather Service Chicago event summaries.
