According to the insurance industry officials, a natural or man-made disaster is named as “catastrophic†when insurance claims total up to $25 million or more in damages. Here’s a list of a few catastrophic events in our home state —the state of Colorado and others that came close.
In July of 1990, a massive hail storm caused roughly $625 million in estimated damages across Colorado. Golf-ball to baseball-sized hail was reported, causing extensive damage to vehicles, windows, roofs and skylights.Â
In March of 2003, snowfalls that topped over three feet in depthy caused Colorado Interstate 70 to shut down for 2 days due to avalanche risk and icy conditions. With 28,000 claims file, the damage from the storm was estimated to be more than $93 million.
The Waldo Canyon Fire of 2012 is believed to be the most expensive wildfire in Colorado history. It burned 347 homes and 18,247 acres, which led to more than $453 million in insured losses. In addition, more than 32,000 people were evacuated.
In May of 2017, Colorado was hit by another massive hailstorm — by far the most damaging hailstorm in state history. The disaster generated $2.3 billion in damage from a total of 267,000 claims in the Denver area, report the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association. The storm ranked as the state’s most expensive insured disaster in history. These scenarios all paint a dire picture for those who have property insurance, or feel that their property insurance is lacking when it comes to final claims process.Â
