Centennial and Aurora Hail Damage: What the August 13 Storm Did to Southeast Metro Roofs
The August 13, 2026 storm dropped half-dollar hail on Centennial and golf-ball hail near Arapahoe Park on Aurora's southeast side. Spotters near Foxfield reported hail drifts two to three feet deep, trees stripped of leaves, and dented metal roof vents. Of the three August storms that hit the metro, this one carried the largest hail.
Golf-ball hail is not a judgment call
At 1.75 inches, hail fractures asphalt shingle mats outright, cracks unprotected skylights, and dents the soft metals on the roofline. If spotters reported dented roof vents in your area, assume your roof has damage worth documenting. The half-dollar hail that fell across Centennial sits in the same category: over an inch is claim territory.
Neighborhoods that were in the path
The reports centered on Centennial and the Arapahoe Park area, which puts Willow Creek, Piney Creek, Foxridge, Smoky Hill, and the streets east toward Foxfield in the path. If leaves and small branches were down on your street on the morning of August 14, your address was in it.
The claim clock is running
Insurance claim windows are limited. Filing without documentation invites a lowball scope; filing with a professional inspection report gets the full damage on record the first time. Our guide to insurance coverage for roof damage explains how the process works.
- Schedule a free inspection: we document everything in writing
- File once, with evidence, so the full damage is on record from the start
