TWIN FALLS -- A Twin Falls man who fell more than 80 feet into the canyon Sunday evening did not suffer life-threatening injuries, according to his brother.
Jeremy Hill, 29, was climbing through a crevasse in the cliffs above Centennial Park when he fell 80 feet. He was taken to Magic Valley Regional Medical Center.
"He fell about 80 feet before hitting anything," said Nancy Howell, spokeswoman for the Twin Falls sheriff's office. He bounced or rolled for another 25 feet to where the cliff begins to level out.

The National Weather Service warned of potential flooding in southern Idaho after a storm brought heavy rainfall into the area. Small streams and creeks in Camas and Elmore counties already were running high, and officials feared the additional moisture could cause those streams to overflow, said Jay Breidenbach, a hydrologist for the weather service. The agency did receive some reports of water spilling onto roadways in central Idaho in Valley County but didn't have any reports in Camas or Elmore counties.
Snowpack in the Big and Little Wood basins -- where flooding already occurred -- is still at 152 and 175 percent of average. The Salmon and Oakley basins also hover around similar levels.
