Denver sounded like a shooting range on Thursday night as one of the largest hail storms in recent years pelted the city.

The National Weather Service reported golf ball-sized hail and winds up to 60 miles per hour.

Residents reported broken shingles, busted sidings and dented cars as hail slammed into neighborhoods. Pets and people unfortunate enough to be wandering around took a beating.

Sirens wailed. Thunder crashed. Electricity went in and out.

Kyle’s been obsessing over Denver since he moved here from Chicago in 2005: What is this place? Who thrives here? Who’s pushed out? Who has room to create and fulfill their dreams? Whose dreams are squashed? And why? He’s the former culture editor at Westword, where he covered the city’s arts and music scene. Before that, he covered city and state politics as the managing editor at the Colorado Independent. He’s raced triathlons (slowly), grown food (well...with others), and toured the country in a folk-punk trio (apologetically). Now, he's reporting about Denver's growth and couldn't be happier about it.
