(CNN)Folks in Southern Colorado could be seen shoveling, yes shoveling, hail off their property Monday.
The region was slammed with hail, heavy rain and flooding over the weekend and into Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
The flooding led the government of Manitou Springs City, about 80 miles southwest of Denver, to close offices and advise residents to evacuate to higher ground. An evacuation center opened at a community church.

1. Not too unusual for Colorado

In July about 20 years ago I had 2 flights cancelled at Denver Airport due to hail. They had to get the snowplows out to clear the ramps and runways.

Maybe 4 feet.
