... This week in Metro Denver weather history...... large hail also fell in Golden... southeast Denver... and Aurora. Homes and other buildings sustained around 200 million dollars in damage. Thousands of cars were battered by giant hailstones and total damage to vehicles was estimated at 150 million dollars. In some areas... golfball size hail fell continuously for 30 to 40 minutes. Some places were pelted with a few stones as large as grapefruits. Roofs on thousands of structures were severely damaged. Uncounted car windshields were broken; two thirds of arvada's police cars were rendered inoperable. Torrential rains with as much as 4.75 inches in Lakewood clogged drains and caused widespread damage from flooding. In some places hail was washed into drifts several feet deep. About 20 people were injured by the giant hailstones. One couple was hospitalized. A woman drowned when she was trapped under a trailer by high water. Only pea size hail fell at Stapleton International Airport. The public reported an unconfirmed tornado over the city of Denver. :com:
