Purple Skies, Non-Stop Lightning Invade Boise Skies [Photos]

As summer winds down, it's no secret that there is a sense of change in the air. Temperatures are dropping (a little bit, anyway), school is back in session, sports like football have returned, and halloween decorations are all over local stores.

Usually in the summertime when temperatures begin to drop, we get a little bit of stormy weather but what the Treasure Valley has been experiencing this year has been a little (and by that we mean a lot) more than we're used to.

Late Saturday night, residents began to notice lightning--and then we all began to notice that these lightning strikes weren't stopping. They went on for HOURS--the sky looked like a strobe light!

Let's take a look at some of our favorite shots that were shared with us from the weekend storm!

Which shots were your favorites!? 

As we like to do, we asked our awesome Facebook followers to share their pictures and that is what brought together some of our favorite shots from this peculiar storm.

We also took to Twitter and found some AMAZING videos from the storm--since when do we get weather like this, Boise!?
