This ‘Insane’ Idaho Hail Storm Goes Viral Online With Over 5 Million Views

Kayaking, Canoeing, and Swimming are three VERY popular activities in Idaho. We offer some of the best access to nature anywhere in American and Idahoans, along side thousands that travel here for those very activities, love every minute of it.

Unusual weather that rolled through the Treasure Valley late last week left many scratching their heads.

For some--their favorite water activities in Idaho 'came to them'.

Massive amounts of rain and hail dumped on the Treasure Valley, turning otherwise perfectly drivable streets into full-on waterways.

Only in Idaho would something like this take place!

Take a look at the shocking images that came from this video, that now has well over 5 MILLION views...what a storm! 

What did the weather look like where you were at, on Friday night? 

It seems that most made the best of the situation, but unfortunately for many, property damage and flooding became a reality of the storm.

By Friday night once the storm had passed, the City of Nampa released the following statement:

Thank you to the many City of Nampa employees who have been out since 9pm—and a second crew who came in to take over around 6am. We’ve already pulled 228,000 gallons off the roadway and there is a lot of work to be done.

Now, days later, the City of Nampa has shared that over 530,000 gallons of water were managed by street crews. Simply unbelievable.

We're eternally grateful for local officials that responded to emergencies, clean ups, and more during this really unique weather situation in Nampa, and elsewhere in the Treasure Valley.

Take a look at that viral video, featuring 'iceberg hail', flooded streets, and a kayaker...below!
