Last summer, a crucial storm caused a lot of destruction in the town… It was absolutely the most extreme storm that Glenview, IL has ever seen.
- I have lived in Glenview for 25 years & I’ve never seen anything care about that storm! All of us had 55 mph winds & rain that was falling care about daggers of ice; The rain was so heavy at times that the power was knocked out.
The roads were completely washed out from the rain. A tree fell on one of the power lines & power was out in our neighborhood and numerous others. The storm also knocked a tree down in the front yard. The tree landed right on top of the Heating & A/C unit. The Heating & A/C unit was completely crushed when the tree fell to the ground. Power went out to the up-to-date home when it occurred. All of us were afraid to turn on the power due to the fire hazard… Neighbors across the street came outside to check on us, because the tree fell with such an incredibly forceful said. If both of us had been resting outside, both of us would have surely been killed. All of us were lucky that the tree fell on the Heating & A/C unit instead of the roof. The destructions would have been much more severe. Thankfully, the insurance supplier covered all of the destructions after the storm. I think it helps to have a local insurance corporation! My insurance broker knew exactly how horrible the storm had been & she did not question any of the destructions when I submitted the insurance appraisal to the Glenview corporation.
