#DidYouKnow IBHS research found 90% of homes whose garage door survived the storm had no structural damage to the roof? A wind-rated garage door can make all the difference in a severe weather event!
FORTIFIED Home™@FORTIFIEDHOME

As one of the largest openings in your home, the garage door you choose matters when high wind comes your way. 💨 Using a creative side-by-side display at the @IntlBldrsShow, Fred Malik walks through the differences between a typical garage door and one that is wind- and impact-rated, and how the extra details can be critical during severe weather. ✅

Ok, so we have a (*new!*) new potential record for largest IL hailstone found on 3/10/2026. Thank you to the Dorris family for letting us measure! I expect this to be the new IL record, but it will not be final until the SCEC meets to vote.

#JustIn: Illinois has a new #hail record. 🧊 This week, the IBHS Record Hail Response Team joined scientists at @NIUlive to confirm the largest hailstone ever recorded in the state, using our advanced 3D scanning technology. From the March 10 storm, the record-setting stone measured 168.05 mm at its max and 93.03 mm at its minimum, weighing 557.2 grams.

I may be biased but the fact that our field can immortalize a hydrometeor that fell from the sky at 120 mph with little to no mass loss over 6 days is remarkable to me. Such awesome collaboration between ICECHIP and IBHS as well:

TODAY: The @ibhshailstudy Record Hail Response Team is on the ground with @gensiniwx to document the likely new state of #Illinois hailstone record using our 3D scanning capabilities.
