Breached canal causes flooding south of Hansen
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Twin Falls Mainline Canal breached Sunday afternoon.
The breach occurred near North 3800 East, two miles south of Hansen. Water quickly rushed across the road and flooded nearby fields. The excess water is draining into the Twin Falls Coulee west toward North 3700 East.
Jay Barlogi, General Manager of the Twin Falls Canal Company, said crews are working on making cutbacks near Milner and Murtaugh to stop water flow.
“We’ve got a relief valve up here that we call ‘Point Spill’ where we’re spilling water into the river to drop the water levels in the mainland canal,” Barlogi said. “Those cuts have all been made; we’ve diverted a little bit extra water into the High Line and Low Line where we can spill that out downstream of here, doing everything we can to reduce the flow of water in that canal to help assist in the repair of.”
Barlogi said he is thankful for the crews’ help in recovery efforts. The exact cause of the breach is unknown, but Barlogi said rodent holes are a common cause of breaches like this one.
The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office and the Twin Falls Canal Company continue to monitor the situation. The sheriff’s office will continue to post updates regarding road closures here.

BOISE, Idaho — While some have resigned themselves to a rainy forecast this week across the Treasure Valley, some optimistic Idahoans are still holding out hope for the unlikely— the City of Boise blanketed in snow on Christmas morning.
While those wishes may (or may not) be answered this year, it’s worth noting that a White Christmas in Boise is not as common as some may think.

The National Weather Service in Boise just took a look back at the last 70 years to see how often the valley has been blessed with snowfall on Dec. 25.
Based on that data, the City of Boise averages a 25% chance of a White Christmas each year. The last time Boise had a White Christmas was in 2022.
The last time there was over 3 inches of snow on the ground on Christmas was 2017.

Idaho Falls Regional Airport long-term parking now full amid holiday travel rush – Local News 8
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Due to increased holiday travel, the Long-Term Parking Lot at Idaho Falls Regional is now full and temporarily closed. Airport officials issued an alert via social media, sharing photos of the packed lot and notifying passengers that while the Economy Lot on International Way remains an option, its availability is also becoming limited.
Addressing potential confusion for travelers on the ground, IDA explained that once the airport determines that safe access or traffic flow can no longer be maintained, the lot must be closed.
“You may notice open spaces in some areas — however, parking availability is managed based on operational and safety thresholds, not visual vacancy alone,” states the post. “When traffic flow or safe access can no longer be maintained, a lot may temporarily close even if some spaces remain.”
Airport leadership expressed their gratitude for the public’s patience during this peak holiday travel season, emphasizing that these restrictions are in place to ensure the safety of both passengers and their vehicles.
The airport is encouraging travelers to get a ride or use the Greater Idaho Falls Transit to avoid parking trouble. They’re also reminding flyers to arrive early and check flight status with their airline
