Heavy Rain in Denver County, Colorado

Severe thunderstorms producing large hail, very heavy rain and tornadoes impacted the Urban Corridor and adjacent plains. Heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm caused flooding along a small tributary draining into the South Platte River. The incident occurred at 13th and Decatur Street, near Invesco Field. The floodwaters inundated the bike path adjacent to the creek. A woman with her child sought refuge under a bridge and became trapped by the high water. The woman slipped and the stroller containing the child was swept into the swift current. Hail up to quarter size was reported over much of the Urban Corriodor. The exception was near Hudson, where golfball size hail was observed.
