    Licensing for roofers working in Lake In The Hills

    Illinois licenses roofing contractors at state level, and the requirement applies to work in Lake In The Hills. The license is issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

    A state license is not a substitute for local rules: the job still needs a permit and an inspection through McHenry County or the city, and some municipalities require their own contractor registration on top of the state license.

    Storm history in McHenry County

    Lake In The Hills has no weather record of its own — NOAA records severe weather against counties, and the listings on this page put Lake In The Hills in McHenry County. These are weather records for the whole county, not an assessment of any building in Lake In The Hills.

    NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 209 severe-weather events recorded against McHenry County between 2016 and 2026: 168 thunderstorm wind events, 34 hail reports and 7 tornadoes.

    Of the 34 hail reports, 32 measured 1.00 in across or larger and 2 measured under an inch. The largest on record is 2.75 in (Softball+) on May 2, 2018.

    The strongest wind gust in the record is 74 kt (about 85 mph), an estimated gust, on May 17, 2017. The county record holds seven tornadoes over the same period.

    The busiest complete year in the record is 2025, with 40 events. The most recent event meeting this dataset's severity definition is a hail report measuring 1.00 in (Quarter - Half Dollar) on June 24, 2026. That one is a preliminary report and has not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive.

    * The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.

    Notable events in the archive

    • Sep 25, 2018 -- Thunderstorm Wind (65 kt gust) -- $10K property damage reported
    • May 2, 2018 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 2.75 in)
    • Jun 17, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (55 kt gust) -- $1K property damage reported
    • May 17, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (74 kt gust)
    • May 17, 2017 -- Tornado (EF1)

    Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.

    Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive

    12 preliminary storm reports have been filed for McHenry County since June 1, 2026: 7 thunderstorm wind events, 4 hail reports and 1 tornado. The largest hail in the window is 1.50 in (Ping Pong Ball), reported June 24, 2026. The strongest gust reported is 60 kt (about 69 mph), on June 10, 2026.

    Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.

    What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.

    “Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.

    The damage figure. $14,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in McHenry County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.

    Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
