Overnight Storms In Denver Produce Piles Of Hail

DENVER (CBS4) - A lengthy hailstorm caused a mess in a Denver neighborhood overnight.

The neighborhood in the area of South Irving Street and West Alaska Place had several feet of hail piled up on the roads and sidewalks early Friday morning after daybreak.

It caused a lot of work for residents like Sinforoso Sanchez. They had to use snow shovels to get their cars out.

"It was ridiculous," he said. "It was like a rushing river of hail coming through here. I mean, vehicles sideways being pushed away from the curb and everybody in the neighborhood was helping everybody else try to get people out of cars.

"We were out here until about 1 in the morning shoveling."

Sanchez said the hail continued for about two hours.

The city also sent in front-end loaders to remove the hail.
