The windstorm that pounded the Front Range, Eastern Plains and foothills on Tuesday caused about $7 million in damage, an insurance association said today.

“The higher price tag of this week’s storm is due to the widespread damage resulting in a large number of smaller claims,” said Carole Walker, executive director of the RMIIA.
Walker said the claims included damage to roofs, fences and vehicles.
About 2,500 homeowner and car-insurance claims have been filed since the storm, Walker said.

Damage estimates from the storm included parts of the Eastern Plains as well.
