The tornado caused a lot of damage that's still being assessed. Much of the damage includes roofs, fences and downed trees. 

The Highlands Ranch Metro District has established two drop-off sites. Those sites are located at Highland Heritage Regional Park, 9651 S. Quebec Street in Highlands Ranch and south of Halftime Help Stadium (formerly Shea Stadium), 3280 Redstone Park Circle at the west side of Redstone Park.
