Coloradan Hopes Inflatable Device Will Keep New Truck Safe From Hail
PARKER, Colo. (CBS4) - The threat of hail remains strong as the summer rolls on in Colorado, and one resident has found what he thinks is a great way to protect his vehicle.
Orland Yee, of Parker, bought a product called Hail Protector to protect his new truck. The truck is too big to fit into his garage so he usually just parks it in their driveway.

"Since Colorado gets a lot of hail, I did some research for things that would protect our new vehicle from hail. And I found this thing that was made in Texas," Yee told CBS4.
