Strong summer storms hit Metro East Illinois regularly, and the trees that cause the most damage are usually ones that were already compromised before the weather arrived. Saturated soil, existing trunk cracks, overextended limbs over rooflines, and previous storm damage all increase the risk significantly.
Before the next system moves through, walk your property and note any large branches hanging over the house or utility lines, any trunks with visible splits, and anything that has shifted or leaned noticeably after recent rain. If something looks different than it did a few weeks ago, that's worth getting eyes on.
