Hail in McHenry County

NOAA storm records for McHenry County list 19 hail reports (the largest 2.5 inches across), 94 thunderstorm wind reports and 6 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

Freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers work on seals from both directions, so cracked sealant, drafty sashes and foggy double-pane glass are common repairs.
