The storm, which pelted Denver's south metro area with golf ball-sized hail, caused widespread damage and street flooding. So far damage estimates include $87.2 million in insured car damage claims and more than $126 million in insured property insurance claims, RMIIA reported.
The worst hailstorm in Colorado history occurred on July 20, 2009, causing $767.6 million in insured damage at the time, according to RMIIA records.
