One man in Englewood checked his car for damage after the storm left cars covered in hail.

"I came out from about 44th and Kipling and came back to this mess ... It was pretty bad, hopefully it didn't destroy my car too bad," he said.

Similar weather was seen in Lakewood. A Vine video from CBS4 Photojournalist Jeremiah Bellile shows enough hail fell to cover the roads.
