Stunning Photos Capture Fierce Boise Storm, Double Rainbow

Where were you on the evening of August 22nd, 2023? If you were in Canyon County-- you may have absolutely no idea what we're hyping up here. If you were in the Boise area then you know exactly what we're about to explain.

Double Rainbows & Thunderclouds! Oh, and lightning!

On the heels of what many thought was just "talk" about a tropical storm hitting Boise, an intense thunderstorm did indeed hit Boise as some weather experts predicted after several days of rain following the West Coast tropical storm. Loud thunder booms and bold strikes of lightning had residents in awe.  All while rain flooded many areas in town--including the I-84 connector--and the whole thing was topped off by a massive Double Rainbow!

Take a look at some of these AMAZING photos from the August 22nd storm, below!

Full disclosure, some of these pictures look so insane, they could be fake! That said--they're all real & were submitted by or shared with permission of their photographers! 

What. A. Storm.

As you could see from one of the photos, the Western Idaho Fair was impacted by the inclement weather--postponing a concert and shutting down rides for just under an hour. It's the images of this monster storm that Boise residents just can't get enough of--and we're here for it!

This isn't the first time a storm has hit Boise and been captured by local residents--check some of these out from a big storm earlier this summer:
