$352M In Claims From July Hailstorm In Colorado Springs

We finally learned the total cost of damages from the massive hail storm in late July. Chances are you remember this one — with golf and tennis ball-sized hail pelting our area. Over 84,000 insurance claims totaled a whopping $352 million, making it the fourth most expensive hail storm in the state’s history. It’s never fun to have to deal with filing insurance claims, especially when there are so many other people doing it at the same time. That just speaks to how big this storm actually was. “I’ve heard that this is like the hundred year hail storm,” said homeowner and claim filer Dave Miller.
