Storm and Wind Damage in the Metro East
The Metro East region experiences severe weather combining multiple damage vectors. Straight-line winds from derecho events can exceed 70 mph, peeling back roofing, toppling trees onto structures, and driving rain through compromised building envelopes. Large hail damages roofing materials, cracks siding, and shatters skylights. The December 2021 tornado outbreak demonstrated that EF3+ tornado events are a real risk for St. Clair County — not a once-in-a-lifetime anomaly.
Fairview Heights' housing stock responds to storm damage in distinct ways. Mid-century homes with original roof systems face shingle failure, flashing compromise, and fascia damage. Newer homes with vinyl siding are vulnerable to wind-driven impact and hail cracking. The city's commercial properties — particularly flat-roofed retail and restaurant buildings along the Route 159 corridor — face membrane uplift, ponding after drainage damage, and exterior signage destruction.
