(COLORADO SPRINGS) -- Spring is here, and for many, it can be a time for new beginnings. Plants begin to grow, flowers begin to bloom, and warm, sunny weather makes an appearance. It's also a time when many people decide to do some much-needed organizing and decluttering. The only bad thing is the h ail storms. It's no secret that Colorado is prone to severe hail storms, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to property, hurting those freshly planted flowers, damaging roofs, creating large dents in your car, and even shattering windows. Saturday was the first hail storm for many living in Colorado, and while many are glad it was not snow, it means 'tis the season for hail and all that comes with it. The storm was certainly not the worst Colorado Springs has seen, but it did produce small pebbles and a lot of them. Courtesy: FOX21 News Reporter/Anchor Austin Sack "You can't run from it. I mean, you could try, but there ain't nobody fast enough in the world," said Dedrick Henderson, who got caught in Saturday's storm. People are already seeing damage to their cars and homes. "It was raining at first, and then I heard 'doot doot doot'," said Dedrick describing the sound of the rain hitting his car. He says that since moving to Colorado, every car he has owned has been damaged. Even though Saturday's hail was small, it still caused plenty of damage. "I put boxes on mine, sometimes I use cardboard boxes to cover it, I got a convertible so it would get destroyed in a fair bit," said Andre Jenkins, who luckily avoided Saturday's storm. Despite some people's efforts to avoid it, hailstorms can be hard to predict. "It was pretty bad, and it's pretty spontaneous; it came out of nowhere," said Jenkins.

"Keep your eye on the weather, and if it says hail, I'll stay the hail in the house," said Jenkins. But Richard Heizer might be one of the few people to say, 'hail yes.' He is the owner of Heizer Hail Repair, and he says the business is good. The Centennial State is one of the most at-risk hail states because of its elevation, allowing storms to create large hailstones. "I know a lot of people will flock up under the underpasses on the highway, and that can cause some issues for people behind them," said Heizer. Heizer says it's important to make sure you are prepared and have good car insurance. "It's the same as throwing rocks at your car; nobody wants to drive a golf ball around," he said. Courtesy: FOX21 Meteorologist Ryan Matoush Heizer says you should not wait to get your car repaired. "It's a toss-up because you could end up paying multiple deductibles with your insurance company, and you might have a completely fixable car, and then a second storm comes through and wipes it out," said Heizer. Even though it can be frustrating, sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. " I just stayed in the car, just waited on it, you know? I mean, you can't fight that I only got two arms," said Henderson. ...read more read less
