PUTNAM COUNTY RECORD

How to file a homeowners insurance claim after storm damage • Ensure your gutters, drains and downspouts are clear of debris so that heavy rains can flow and drain away from your home. • Prune trees or branches, especially dead limbs, to minimize potential debris that could also damage your home or surrounding power lines. • Create an inventory of your personal property, including high-value items in your home like electronics, jewelry or art. Keep receipts for these items – that shows proof of cost and date of purchase. • Make photo or digital copies of your insurance policies, and know where they are for easy access in case of emergency. • Keep important documents, including any inventory records you create, in a fireproof or safe deposit box or someplace that’s not your home.

By KELSEY RETTKE krettke@shawmedia.com Illinois is on track to record the highest volume of insurance claims related to catastrophes such as severe weather in a decade, according to State Farm Illinois. Since Aug. 11, residents across the region have endured days of tornadoes, destructive winds, significant rainfall, loss of electricity and, yes, property damage. Before this week’s storms, Illinois had already recorded 178 tornadoes in 2026 by mid-July – the highest in the nation to date. Since June 19, State Farm Illinois customers have filed almost 50,000 home and auto insurance claims related to severe weather. “Our hearts truly go out to the families and communities affected,” said State Farm spokesman Noel MacMullen. Wind, hail and tornadoes are common causes of widespread damage. State Farm noted hail-related damage claims trending up in Illinois over the past four years. An estimated $558 million in hail-related insurance claims was paid out to Illinois customers by State Farm in 2025, the third highest in the nation following Texas and Missouri, data shows. Experts stress that preparation is key to mitigating damage during disaster events. Renters insurance is not required by law in Illinois, but the Illinois Department of Insurance recommends it. Although a landlord’s policy protects the building structure, renters insurance protects your personal property and typically includes liability protection. “Renters face many of the same risks as homeowners,” according to the IDOI’s website. “Your landlord may have insurance, but it only protects the building structure, not your personal property.”

How to file an insurance claim after a disaster event

If you’ve experienced damage to your home or personal property, the IDOI offers detailed guidance. “If the damage is minor, for example, just a few shingles were damaged, you might decide you’re better off paying for the repairs out of pocket instead of filing an insurance claim,” according to the IDOI. “But remember, you might not be able to see all the damage. You may want to have a contractor inspect your home.” While an adjuster from your insurance provider could visit your property to make an assessment and estimate of the damage, there are steps you can take on your own beforehand:

After a disaster:

Crews work near downed powerlines Aug. 11 on Grove Road in Oswego. Severe storms rolled through the northern Illinois that morning leaving trees and powerlines down throughout the area. • Document and photograph any damage you have in as much detail as possible. • Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible after the severe weather event. It’s helpful to have your policy number handy at this time. • If you can’t reach an insurance representative right away, call the company and ask for the claims department. • If documentation of your insurance policy was lost due to damage, contact your provider and ask them to provide you with a new copy of your purchased policy. • According to the IODI, claims begin in two ways: Either an adjuster will come to your home, or your insurance company could send you a claim form, usually called a “proof of loss form.” • Claims are broken down into two main categories: damage to your home and damage to personal property, such as the contents of your house. • Get the adjuster’s contact information and ask them to provide you with a copy of the report. • Once the adjuster determines how much it will cost to repair or replace any damage you’ve recorded, they’ll review your policy to calculate how much the insurance company will pay of that total. “The more information you can supply, the better your adjuster will be able to assist with your claim,” according to the IDOI. “Do not throw out damaged furniture or other items of value. The adjuster will want to see them.”

The IDOI also offers a guide to understanding the terminology adjusters commonly use.

Tips to consider when filing a claim

Industry experts said that preparedness is just as important as post-storm action when it comes to taking care of your home. “Think of preparedness as a household system that works for hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and flooding conditions,” according to State Farm Illinois. “The best preparations are ongoing and prevent or limit damage that can come from storms.” And remember: Safety first, says the IDOI. Make sure there are no downed power lines, broken gas lines or other risks to staying in your home or on your property while cleanup is underway.

Before a disaster:

• Make a habit of regularly reviewing your homeowners insurance policy with your provider to ensure you have the right things covered, know what your deductibles are, and see if you qualify for any discounts. That can include whether your home is built with materials that reduce destructive impact – like a solid roof to protect from hail. • Cover openings with storm-resistant doors and window shutters with heavy curtains. • Secure or store loose items outside so they don’t contribute to potential damage during high winds.

• Take photographs and/or video of all property damage before you begin cleaning or repairing. • If you don’t have a completed home inventory, the adjuster should give you time to complete one. • While filing the claim, ask your insurance provider to give you a general idea of what your policy will cover and how long you have to file a claim. • Homeowners or landlords may need to make temporary repairs to their property – such as filling holes in walls or covering roof damage. The IDOI recommends addressing that as soon as possible for safety purposes, but keep all bills and receipts from repairs. • Before you hire a contractor to repair any damage to your home or property, industry experts recommend checking with your insurance provider first to discuss coverage. • Contact your insurance provider if you need emergency money to help make repairs if you can’t afford to do so on your own. • If you have water damage in your home, such as on carpets or furnishings, dry as quickly as possible and ventilate your home to prevent further damage. • Have electrical equipment checked by an expert before using it if you suspect it’s been damaged by water or debris. For renters, the IDOI recommends checking with your insurance provider to see whether your plan affects any roommates you may have. If your claim is denied or you can’t get ahold of your provider, you should contact the IDOI to file a complaint or visit iodi. illinois.gov for more information before seeking legal recourse with your insurance provider.

A large tree lay broken in half in front of a home on 7th Street in Lockport Aug. 12. Lockport and other Will County communities are clearing debris following storms that spawned three EF-1 tornadoes on Aug. 11.

Deaths, damage reported as severe weather in the Midwest spawns tornadoes, flash flooding The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – First responders rescued more people from floodwaters Aug. 12 as utility crews cleared trees and wires downed by severe storms in the Midwest that unleashed tornadoes, heavy rains and flash flooding, leaving hundreds of thousands of customers without electricity. A 4-year-old boy was killed when a tree fell on a home in Geneva, Indiana, during the Aug. 11 storms, according to the Jennings County Sheriff’s Office. In Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine said a resident of Roseville died during a health emergency when first responders, faced with flooded roads, couldn’t reach them. Officials in Portage, Indiana, were investigating whether the severe weather played a role in a reported house explosion that killed a person. Lightning struck a prison complex southwest of Cleveland on Aug. 11, injuring 16 incarcerated people who were hospitalized, according to the Ohio Department of Corrections. DeWine said four remained hospitalized as of Aug. 12, including one with

severe injuries. Storm damage was reported from the Chicago area all the way to western Pennsylvania. Three tornadoes in counties south of Chicago were confirmed by the National Weather Service. Flood warnings on Aug. 12 stretched from northern Illinois to eastern Indiana, and there were flash flood watches from Indiana to parts of Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee, the weather service said. “Severe thunderstorm and heavy rainfall threats continue across the Plains, Midwest, Ohio Valley, and central Appalachians the next couple of days,” according to the NWS.

With the currents too strong to make it out themselves, they were rescued by firefighters in a boat in the predawn darkness. “Water just started pouring into the house,” she said. “Because of my house being very old, when the water was coming up, I was very worried about the electric outlets that were on the floor, because there was water literally coming out of them, so I was afraid that my children were going to get shocked.” In Athens County, Ohio, almost 300 people called 911 for help Aug. 11, including 42 involving vehicles stuck in floods, with more calls Aug. 12 as high waters flowed toward the Ohio River, said the emergency management director, Teresa Fouts-Imler.

Storms pummel wide swath of the Midwest

More than 650,000 customers were without power the afternoon of Aug. 12 in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, according to poweroutage.us. Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power was surveying the damage but already had identified more than 100 broken poles, about 650 downed wire spans and another 85 tangled with trees. About 76,000 of its customers remained without power, even after crews had restored electricity for 135,000, American Electric Power said Aug. 12. To give Ohio’s capital city time to grapple with power outages and cleanup, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther declared an emergency Aug. 12.

Heavy rains, high winds damage homes, inundate neighborhoods

Photos posted on social media from the Chicago area and in Indiana showed flooded roads, trees tangled in power lines and homes with gashes in their roofs. “No power. It was very scary. We were down in the basement,” said Javid Jenkins of Homewood. “We’re built for snow. We’re built for cold. We’re not built for this.” Jenkins, 54, was driving around for gas to power a generator to preserve the food in his refrigerator. Forecasters said a wind gust of 99 mph was recorded in Gary, Indiana. Elsewhere, there were numerous reports of gusts of 80 mph or more at personal weather stations. Preliminary information indicated that the intense system that swept from Iowa into Indiana over several hours qualified as a derecho, the weather service’s Storm Prediction Center said the evening of Aug. 11. Derechos are prolonged straight-line wind events that unleash heavy rainfall and can travel hundreds of miles. The damage they cause is sometimes comparable to the destructive forces of tornadoes or hurricanes. “Total devastation. No roof,” said Kerry Hourigan, standing outside her home of 25 years in Tinley Park. “Stupid thing, but my focus was I just bought a new barbecue grill, and I have no idea where that is. It’s disappeared.” Dayton, Ohio, set a daily rainfall record with 2.07 inches, shattering a mark set in 1915, the weather service said. • Collins reported from Hartford, Connecticut while Associated Press writers Sudhin Thanawala in Atlanta and John Raby in Charleston, West Virginia, contributed.

PREP FOOTBALL SEASON PREVIEW

Hall-Putnam County looks to keep building By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com When Nick Sterling took over as Hall-Putnam County football coach last season, he did so with the goal of returning his alma mater to its past glory of deep playoff runs and state championships. In his first season, the Red Devils won three games. “As a whole, we want to keep growing, keep getting better and get the program back on the tracks,” Sterling said. “That’s what we’re ultimately trying to do. I think everything’s heading in the right direction.” Hall is benefitting from being familiar with the system in Year 2 under Sterling. “We’ve been going since June. We’re implementing all the same plays as last year. It’s the first time in years we’ve had the same coach, so it’s just much easier to put the plays in,” senior Colton Crowther said. “Last year it took a couple weeks to get to know Coach. But now we’ve had our before school workouts all last year and then starting in June, it’s just working really well.” The Red Devils have been able to move to the next level in their schemes. “Right off the bat, they were familiar with where we left off last year,” Sterling said. “When we started, I felt like we were already where we were Week 4 or Week 5 last year, so that’s good, because we can add more complexity to offensive line blocks and with different scenarios, rather than staying with the play, we can make adjustments that can make us a better team. But also we’ll focus on some of the smaller things that maybe we didn’t do as well last year.” Offensively, the Red Devils lost most of their top playmakers from last season in quarterback/running back/receiver Braden Curran, running back Aiden Redcliff and quarterback Dylan Glynn.

Hall’s Chace Sterling stretches for a catch attempt during a game against Mendota last season. Sophomore Gage Olson, junior Tyson Zuniga and senior Houston Yanek are all in the mix to take over at quarterback. Senior Colton Crowther will play running back, while classmates Jaxson Pinter and Jaxon Weger and juniors Ethan Luna, Cam Pellegrini will also get carries. Pinter, Pellegrini and Luna along with junior Keegan Marroquin will contribute at receiver.

“There’s a lot of guys who have been waiting for their time to get up there and get their reps,” Sterling said. “We have a lot of good athletes coming up who I think are going to be able to contribute to the team.” The Red Devils have some experience up front with seniors Alex Tucker, Kamani Power and Caden Ellena on the line and junior Chace Sterling at tight end. Sterling led the team in receiving last year with

PUTNAM COUNTY RECORD

12 GOLF: SEASON PREVIEW

Putnam County golf looking to improve in 2026 By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com Here’s a look at the Putnam County golf team for the 2026 season: Coach: Brandi LeQuia Top returning players: Emmit Main, so.; Riley Doehling, so.; Jace Boedighimer, so.; Ian Walder, sr.; Zac LeQuia, sr.; Patrick King, sr.; Kannon Tune, sr.; Diana Ely, jr.; Ariel Dorado, jr. Top newcomers: Davis Carlson, fr. Worth noting: The Panther boys are looking for an improved season with strong senior leadership as well as younger talent. Walder missed the second half of last season with injury but has looked strong in the postseason. LeQuia, King and Tune are fouryear players who will help lead. Main, Doehling and Boedighimer all gained varsity experience last year. “All of our returning golfers have worked on

Continued from page 11 we’re going to sustain drives really well.” Defensively, Chace Sterling returns at defensive end after leading the team with 69 tackles last season. Tucker and Crowther will be among the leaders at linebacker, while Marroquin, Luna, Pellegrini and Pinter will play in the secondary. “If we play like we did last year and stay gap responsible, play with

their games and we hope they can contribute to some low varsity scores,” Brandi LeQuia said. “Our team strengths include a strong group of experienced leadership and a core group of young golfers eager to learn and improve their scores.” With the leadership and talent, Putnam County is looking for more wins this fall. “Wins have been rare the last couple years, but we feel we have a good group of golfers that will help turn our record around and give us a good chance to win some meets this season,” Brandi LeQuia said. “We feel we have a couple of golfers with a legitimate chance of getting out of regional and will be competitive in postseason play.” The girls return a pair of third-year players in Ely and Dorado. “I am hoping to see my lady Scott Anderson file photos golfers leave every course knowing they gave their very best,” Brandi LEFT: Putnam County’s Zac Lequia tees off during a Class 1A regional last season.

Putnam County’s Ariel Dorado tees off during a Class 1A regional last year. good effort and tackle a little better, realistically, I think we can have a really good defensive year,” Nick Sterling said. “The defense has been a lot further advanced than what I thought we would be right now.” The Red Devils are looking for their first postseason appearance since 2022. Hall would have made the playoffs last year under the new system. “Bottom line, if we don’t make the playoffs, I would say it’s not where we want to be,” Tucker said. “Our plan is to make the playoffs and go on a run.”
