Okay. Let me rephrase my first comment then since you have an issue with it. Basic coverage doesn't cover hail damage on cars in Alberta. I lived most of my life in the US and hail was always covered under basic insurance, just as windshields were in the US but aren't covered in AB either.
@@aprianiatahau9988 No? sturdiness of cars has only gone up with all the tests required nowadays, which they didn 't have the technology for in the past.
You were exceptionally well prepared for this event. You had cameras with time stamps, heavy clothing the end of May, and gps showing exactly where you were. All those were definitive proof for your insurance company. This video is compelling evidence showing you had planned for this and knew where to go to reach the worst part of the storm at the right time. Nice job!!
what kind of dumbass comment is this are the weather forecasts so reliable in your area that you know exactly where every storm is, down to the minute coastal elite ass attitude
From someone who lives in Colorado for most of there life i can say this is the most of mother nature giving you the middle finger sense it cant produce tornadoes on us all
I live in fountain right across the 25 from fort Carson. Exit 128. My house made the news when this storm hit. We had damn near soft ball sized hail falling. I don’t think I’ve ever pulled my truck into the garage faster! Glad y’all are safe!
It looked to me like most of the breaks in his windshield happened as he was still trying to drive before he stopped... I'd think if you tried to drive during one of these, the faster you drove, the harder they'd hit your front windshield...
Yes because that's how physics work. If you stand still the impact force = kinetic energy of ice balls. If you drive then you add your windshield window kinetic force to the kinetic energy of the ice balls so the impact is more powerfull.
Place the floor mats under the wipers to protect the windscreen and on the back window as well...easier said than done I know in a hail storm but worth the effort
Wow... This is the exact reason we keep an old thick blanket in our car. If hail comes, we throw it over the car. We have been caught in hail only twice, luckily we could floor it and make it under an overpass. On a side note, it is amazing how many cars you can fit under one overpass.
I hope you guys weren`t injured; I was 3 miles away in Lakewood at home. My car, shed & house roofs were battered, but at least I was inside. Too scary!!
Damn, if this was me idk if I would've pulled over or if I would've kept going towards the next exit to try and find safety, I wouldn't have been this calm either I probaly would've been crying about the damaged car because I'd be driving something I love unless I got caught in the storm with my beater car.
I was visiting my family in Mexico and 1 hour later after it hit denver it hit in Hidalgo Mexico, not as much hail but was surprised on damage it caused in the Denver metro area... How can we forget that day
Yeah I remember this hailstorm. Took a trip in Colorado that year and got stuck in this with a rental car and went through legal battles with the insurance company after they took advantage over this hailstorm and tried to charge me over $4,000 for a small dent you could barely see ( They probably put it there). Yeah, insurance companies are never on your side.
Permission to use this on my channel. This is insane. Hope you guys didn't get any of that broken glass on you. I had a sliver in my eye once, years ago and the pain was indescribable. This is going on worldwide and people need to see this. Thank you, let me know. I had a man send me a video form Arvada listed from this storm, but you guys here got it worse...wow
I won't, thanks for getting back to me. If you drive that car don't drive with the windows down...there are thousands of shards in your carpet that are going to react to air circulation like a dust particle...if it gets in your eye (eyes) it will scratch your retina...(know from experience)...take care
we resided 3 blocks from where they pulled over. heck of a storm. nearly all the west-facing windows in the apt. complex were dashed out. could well've been worse. no pets injured here, or humans, but it was a fine pelting.
We had a hail storm like this in southwest Montana back in 2009. Pretty much every house in town needed new roofs, siding and windows on the west facing side, and you can always tell a car that wasn't parked in a garage even today by their resemblance to a golf ball. I ran out mid barrage to throw my thickest comforter on my cars windshield and managed to make it through without a crack...minus all the cracks I took to the head of course. xD
TheTruthQuest123 the fuck I said ? Because you didn't say anyone's channel name and it was the insurance company that gave me 7k and no I'm not a republican
Sometimes people ask me if I miss living in Colorado...I’ll just show them this video next time. Been in more than enough of these storms to last a lifetime in all my years there🤣
TIP: A dollar store sun visor placed on the OUTSIDE of the front windshield will protect it from being decimated like this,short of softball sized hail. Keeping in mind that you don't want to be exposed to large hail for a extended period of time, Do the Following. Pull- over, go to the passenger side with visor, open door, jam one side of visor in front of door,close door, throw remainder of visor across front windshield, get in drivers side while pulling in left side of visor,close door. If you practice ahead of time you can get this technique down faster for when a hail storm really happens.You should be able to do this in less than 45 seconds. At least then you won't have glass shards flying in your face & you can still drive your car legally until insurance repairs the damaged to the rest of the car.
@@mosu9958 you are allowed or only not if you have Police in front of you but here we see that nobody are not in front and some cars go!! you must go out of that storm perimeter range which arearound 1-3km most
Hey Preston... my name is Jeremy Hubbard, and I'm a reporter/anchor at KDVR-TV in Denver. I'm working on a story on the devastating May hail storm. I wondered if we could use your video and interview you on camera about what the experience of driving through it was like. Can you drop me a line at Jeremy.hubbard@kdvr.com ? Thanks.
Just make sure when this starts getting worse keep driving then when you can’t see anymore because your windshield is spidered from the broken glass stop on the freeway don’t try to go to an underpass or gas station before that happens or anything
I'm sure copart is making a killing with all of their auction fee's as this car and many others are write offs. What a bummer. Glad you two were alright.
Based on that interior of the car, I think it’s a Toyota Corolla from 2008-2013. Also I noticed it was manual, i see the stick shift at 6:02. I never knew they came in manual lol it must be rare
that dude is calm for a few reason 1 he's thinking the more I set the more this bill gets racked up but if it beats the shit out of this car that full coverage will come in handy lmfao he's also thinking about what car to buy next lmfao or he's thinking well if they don't total it its going to come out looking better than it was
Hey Preston, would you be interested licensing this video? Paid of course. We can speak over email, Id love to feature it in a video I am working on about scary moments. Let me know your email if you are interested and if not I understand. Thanks:)
We got hit up in Brighton not long after this or it was later that night. Everybody at my apartment got their windows broken but my old 97 f150. Had good size dents but was being blocked from damage from a tree lol

He was smiling, he obviously had full coverage.
Rumorady - how do you know
@@chlo6004 maybe was in the car
Yup he replied in other comment mentioning he has full coverage
@Zero_Code_Name_Reaper Nah he has full coverage he replied in other comment mentioning he has full coverage
That is the “this is happening” smile.
believe me when I say that it was much louder inside the car then it sounds like on this video. I was caught in the same storm.
rpddsmith I’m sorry to hear that.
We had a hail storm while we were camping. Let’s just say I’m glad we had an actual camper and not a tent.
How many cars were a complete loss?
us people in the uk get excited when there is a hailstorm of tiny ice balls.
Same I had my dog with me as well. Poor thing almost shit herself
At least you did not have a sun roof!
I would put security mesh on my car
pizzas 6068 😂😂
Well f**k
I have a car in roblox with a sunroof
If they did - that's why they have sunshades.
Most of sunroofs are really thick and reinforced
i wonder how motorcycle riders survive at this
they dont allow moterbike on Moterways...
Jamal Ahmad in what country? This was filmed in Wheat Ridge Colorado in America and we allow motorcycles on all roads.
i am talking about Pakistan.... OUr Govt is not allowing Motercycles on moterways... they allow us to run on city roads only...Sir
Okay but see, that's Pakistan. Not USA. Our laws and rules are different.
Not good probably broken fingers and severe bruises!!!!:/
Well...at least your insurance company has definitive proof you have a valid and legitimate claim.
Unless you live in Alberta. Insurance doesn't cover hail damage.
Kaitlyn Gatineau .... Yes they do
Most do not unless you pay extra for it. Just went through a mess with my insurance company over hail here in AB.
Kaitlyn Gatineau "you picked the wrong insurance plan". "NO..... I picked the wrong insurance agency" ..... LIBERTY MUTUAL

Love the smile at 3:28. The “this is happening” smile.
No, that's the "i know my insurance will fully cover this" smile
You two need a medal for the calmest during the storm!I would have tripped
I might need to think about buying a tank

Same I am planning this for a long time now...
Darksa Niwa wtf lol
Just buy an old classic car and ur car will survive

Nocure92 he was talking about how older cars used harder thicker metals
Haha. Yeah. You were very calm in this situation. When you turn the dash cam on yourself, your expression reads with a "Welp. Whatever." smile.

Damn. it looks like the car has returned from a battleground recently
Yes. It fought mother nature and LOST!
You know you're in Colorado when, despite massive hail and pouring rain, the lifted truck behind you still expects you to be going 85 on the freeway.
Windscreen wipers: "why do I hear boss music?"
Thanks for posting. Moved here from AZ about 3 weeks after and did hear of the storm. Sorry to hear about all the damage.
From someone who lives in Colorado for most of there life i can say this is the most of mother nature giving you the middle finger sense it cant produce tornadoes on us all
Yes it can! Remember Windsor in 2007? An F4 took out a quarter of the town.
Have you never heard of Weld County???

I appreciate that you guys were listening to Opeth through all of this
Thats why you buy yourself the 18ton 9ft high Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) US military truck and hit the highway with no worries at all
Bonecrusher - Decepticon. That scene on the highway is what I imagine.
Fuckin 10L engine
Hahaha you look amazingly calm dude.. even a smile.. In the end it's just a tin can with wheels..
Nature is amazing, even when it's tearing the sh** out of your car (plus I knew we were safe...and I have full coverage)
Nature sure is man.. Glad you were both okay though.. Great video and have a great day cheers from the Netherlands..
Scary stuff. Good thing you had full coverage insurance.
so why does the date in video say 2016 and poster claims this was last week?
why?
Just Human g
Wow... This is the exact reason we keep an old thick blanket in our car. If hail comes, we throw it over the car. We have been caught in hail only twice, luckily we could floor it and make it under an overpass. On a side note, it is amazing how many cars you can fit under one overpass.
Just casually stand outside and lay a heavy blanket on your car by yourself lol
how do you even get out of your car to cover it with a blanket when it's hailing?
That will buff out.
Turtle wax
@@RonBand01 Windex
For sale light hail damage
“there goes my windshield”, keeps driving at the same speed to help windshield get broke even more.
yes we saw the video
Yeah they weren't very smart, they coulda exit and find a gas station with a roof to park but instead they parked there to get beat up some more.
@@Khon-Lao-Thai You actually think that they had time to find an exit and immediately then find a gas station to take shelter from the storm ?
@@CelestialTrailblazer Bridges/overpasses exist. They passed by 2 exits and were even talking about it bouncing when it was small bits of hail.
I hope you guys weren`t injured; I was 3 miles away in Lakewood at home. My car, shed & house roofs were battered, but at least I was inside. Too scary!!
25411959....... hello sorry where exactly was this hail storm? and if you could give me the date too please and thanks
Hi, it was in Lakewood & Wheat Ridge, CO., on the west side of metro Denver, on May 8, 2017.
All I want in this life is your level of calmness
Damn, if this was me idk if I would've pulled over or if I would've kept going towards the next exit to try and find safety, I wouldn't have been this calm either I probaly would've been crying about the damaged car because I'd be driving something I love unless I got caught in the storm with my beater car.
one reason too not have a sun roof in your car , too fraigal in a hail storm
that car is 1500$ ofc u can stay calm in that who cares xD
Pretty normal here we just deal with it
There's no covered public parking around there close to save anything, by the time you found someplace, storm has passed
Never pull over ...just keep going to get beyond it
What’s up Preston B. Сan I add your video to my channel?😀
Please do not use this video. Thanks
Wow!!! Glad your ok. If you live in Colorado you know this happens every summer.

“Toyota Let’s Go Places!”

Did you try turning the car off then back on again?
You need an Award For Calmest Driver Ever!!! 🙏👏🏻 Oh wow
Big respect to that windshield ... It took a POUNDING and didn't cave in.
On a clean Corolla with only 81 thousand miles. That had to hurt.

Damn that front window is strong lol
It's a different kind of glass, designed not to shatter
but actually its so surprising how the windows are strong enough to endure that entire minute of basically rocks going max speed to their car
i'm sorry for the storm, i fell sad for all peoples in COLORADO
ikr , they have tornado and this!
This happened to me in Tennessee and it put dents and scratches on my truck and they gave me 7k to fix it

That is the issue in Co, the hail damages to a vehicle, most cheap cars have hail damage.

I was about 1/2 mile in front of you trapped on the Wadsworth exit. Glass everywhere. Held my windshield up with my sunscreen. Pretty scary.

I live in Arizona Mesa you know and I’m only 16 years old
This was a badass storm im a roofer from lakewood co like 5 mins from denver this strom was at my house and totalled all my neighbors cars
