A severe hailstorm in Denver's Green Valley Ranch area caused extensive damage to vehicles, with some residents reporting baseball-sized hail.

Car insurance rates in the US have surged by almost 21% over the past year, contributing significantly to the overall inflation rate. Factors driving this increase include higher costs for car repairs due to expensive auto parts and labor shortages, as well as a rise in severe and frequent car accidents leading to more costly claims. There is significant variation in rate increases across states, with Nevada experiencing the highest jump at 38% and North Carolina seeing the smallest increase at 5.5%. Experts anticipate a moderation in these trends nationally over the course of the year, but some markets may continue to see rate hikes.
