HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Colorado has seen severe weather sweep across the state this week, causing damage to homes and vehicles. And now, communities are left cleaning up the aftermath from tornadoes, large hail and heavy rain.Carole Walker, the executive director with the Rocky Mountain Insurance Association said one of resident's first calls should be to their insurance professionals to report any damage and start the claim process.
"I couldn't believe my eyes," said Shaw."The wind picked up and then all sudden I saw a wall of water and wind swirling, coming from that direction and I'm like, 'OK — we need to take cover.'" Walker said when it comes to trees, if a tree falls on your property but does not cause any damage, that is not something you would file an insurance claim for.
