Idaho Experiences Nearly 3,000 Lightning Strikes in 24-Hours
In what was nothing short of a 'shocking' report--we are now learning that in about 24-hours, Idaho experience nearly 3,000 individual lightning strikes over the gem state. Each summer in the Treasure Valley, we know exactly what to expect. Things start off slow, and then we wake up one day to scorching heat. That heat will stick around for a few days, and then things will cool off a bit. When they cool off, we get a thunderstorm and then said thunderstorm takes over social media for 24-hours, at least.

The warrants followed a several-month investigation.
The New Source of Smoke Over Southern Idaho
A line of thundershowers cleared the air briefly, but we woke up Friday morning in the Magic Valley under a shroud of smoke. It’s probably not from any of the lightning strikes Thursday evening, or not all of it is related to new fires. One of the biggest blazes in Idaho is burning in Central/Western Owyhee County. The Silver Fire was first reported on Wednesday. According to the Idaho Fire Map, it looks to be among the largest currently roasting in the state. It doesn’t appear to rival the multiple blazes scorching eastern Oregon, but there’s a history of massive fires in Owyhee County.
