Fort Hall wildfire destroys 50 vehicles, structures and farm equipment before firefighters gain upper hand

FORT HALL — A fast-moving wildfire caused significant destruction to structures and vehicles Friday on the Fort Hall Reservation before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames. Authorities reported Friday evening that the blaze along Hawthorne Road had destroyed 50 vehicles, two mobile homes, two pole barns and as many as 20 pieces of farm equipment including tractors before firefighters gained the upper hand. There were no injuries and most of the destroyed vehicles were in a junk yard area, authorities said. Fort Hall firefighters responded to the fire around 2:30 p.m. and with help from several neighboring fire departments and the U.S. Wildland Fire Service they had the blaze under control by 7:30 p.m. The blaze began as a haystack fire that quickly spread into a grassy field and structures along Hawthorne Road between Cemetery and Edmo roads, fire officials said. Residents were temporarily evacuated as firefighters from the Pocatello, North Bannock, Chubbuck and Blackfoot fire departments rushed to the scene in an effort to help the Fort Hall Fire Department save homes and other structures in the fire’s path. Though the fire only scorched about 10 acres, the density of vehicles, farm equipment and structures in its path

Sunny skies and warmer temperatures ahead before Friday’s heat advisory

If you’ve been thinking, “We need to squeeze a little more summer out of this,” the weather is going to cooperate — at least for the next few days. Today brings a much quieter and drier weather pattern to eastern Idaho and western Wyoming. Skies will clear, sunshine will take over, and storm chances will essentially disappear for the day. The atmosphere has dried out considerably as the monsoonal moisture feed retreats, leaving us with little of the instability and moisture needed to fire off afternoon thunderstorms.

Flash flood warning issued as severe thunderstorms hammer East Idaho

Powerful thunderstorms swept across a wide stretch of East Idaho on Saturday night, prompting a flash flood warning and bringing large hail, damaging winds and deadly lightning to several local communities. Around 9:45 p.m. Saturday the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for parts of Blaine, Bingham, Butte and Power counties, in effect until 12:45 a.m. Sunday. Forecasters said heavy rain, with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, has already produced ongoing or imminent flash flooding in the warned area, including near Craters of the Moon and Big Southern Butte. The warning covers flooding risks to small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, underpasses and other low-lying or poorly drained areas. "Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads," the weather service warned. "Most flood deaths occur in vehicles." Minutes later, the weather service issued a special weather statement warning of even stronger winds moving through parts of Jefferson, Butte, Bonneville and Bingham counties through 11 p.m. Saturday. Radar tracked a line of strong thunderstorms extending from near Idaho National Laboratory to Atomic City to Rockford, moving east at 10 mph and carrying wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph — among the strongest winds
