Severe Thundershowers Slow Farming

(Boise) Afternoon storms brought tornado warnings for parts of Gem, Washington, and Payette counties just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Farmers who hoped to get back in the fields had to watch from the sidelines for the 3rd straight day, planting is at least 2-weeks behind for some farmers.

The storms were followed by a severe thunderstorm warnings throughout the region, with heavy rain, hail and even a funnel cloud sighting.

"It was like totally awesome,” funnel cloud witness Bob Davis told KTVB 7 news: “I haven't seen a funnel cloud like that since I was a kid in Oklahoma- Arkansas area.”
