COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Springs and other parts of southeastern Colorado could be in for more severe thunderstorms Friday.
Heavy rain and hail as big as golf balls hit parts of the Colorado Springs area Thursday night. Firefighters warned people to stay inside because of flooding and hail that piled up like snow in some areas.
They also put out a house fire that was started by a lightning strike.
Colorado Springs police spokesman Howard Black said 27 police cruisers were so damaged from the storm that they were knocked out of service.
