It was a crazy Labor Day weekend in the Magic Valley in 2020. All across town people reported fences knocked over, trees down, power outages, and roof shingles ripped off.
At least nine people had to be taken to area hospitals following multiple crashes Monday evening on the interstate and nearby highway in Cassia County during a major storm
I remember at one point poking my head out of the tent as the rain pounded the nylon roof above me, and a massive flash of electricity lit what appeared to be the face of a wolf standing near our smoldering campfire.
I have been here in Twin Falls almost 5 years and my first full winter in Twin Falls was Snowmagedon. 4 years ago we were in the midst of the snowpocalypse, the worst snow storm the area had seen in about 30 years according to people in the area.
The latest storm to roll through the Magic Valley was definitely an interesting one. If you weren't able to see it before the wind and rain hit then you missed an amazing spectacle.
Holy crap! As soon as we think it's summer...Idaho weather shows us who's boss. Did it hail at your house?
What will tomorrow's weather bring?

Unless you were living under a rock or maybe hiding under one, the Magic Valley had one heck of a lightning storm Monday night. Judging by the number of lightning pics on Instagram today, many of you were documenting the experience.
You know what - sometimes you have to just sit back and look at the beauty that Spring brings. The grass is greener, trees are blooming, flowers have colorful buds, and those spring lightning storms are amazing!
It was difficult for any Magic Valley resident to sleep last night. Winds gusted up to 40 miles an hour, snow began to swirl and cover the roads just enough to make them a sheet of ice!
(KLIX)- Tuesday trees, sheds, and anything not anchored down were thrown around by strong winds that blew through the Magic Valley. Heavy rain and wind gusts more than 50 miles an hour did its share of damage. The storm kept emergency crews busy for some time...
(KLIX)- Sundays batch of rough weather kept emergency personnel busy. Thunderstorms rolled through much of the Magic Valley with strong winds, multiple lightning strikes and some heavy rains. There were numerous reports of fires sparked by lightening as well as reports of power lines and trees being taken down by the passing storms...
Yesterday's snow fall created a very busy day for emergency crews and left some folks without power. Twin Falls police report they responded to 17 vehicle accidents yesterday, Gooding county reports 14, Jerome County reported eleven accidents and Lincoln County had one.
