08/09/2010 Arvada, CO Small Hail and Urban Flooding


Slow moving monsoon thunderstorms develop across the Colorado front range dumping excessive rainfall as well as small (pea to marble) hail. One storm formed over the northwest suburbs of Denver with over an inch of rain falling in less than 1 hour.

Video package opens up with several POV shots driving through heavy rain and small hail along US 36 near Sheridan. It follows up with shots of pea-to-marble size hail falling with flooding developing along 80th Avenue just west of Sheridan (CO-95). Rest of video includes vehicles driving through flood waters along 80th Avenue post-storm.
