Garage Doors in Illinois

On the night of December 10-11, 2021, a late-season tornado outbreak swept across Illinois, and the National Weather Service logged 43 separate wind reports spanning from Grundy and Kankakee counties in the north to Jackson County in the south — including the EF3 tornado with winds near 150 mph that struck an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville. Garage doors are among the largest unreinforced openings in a home's exterior wall, and building-science research has found that once wind pressure forces a garage door to fail, air rushing into the structure can pressurize the interior and turn a damaged door into a much bigger roof or wall problem. For homeowners across the wide swath of Illinois that saw straight-line wind damage that night, not just the areas directly in a tornado's path, a door that binds, won't seal, or came off track afterward often traces back to that same event.
