A thunderstorm cell developed over extreme southeastern Idaho county (over 9 kft terrain) and split into two separate supercells as it moved into Lemhi County. The left-moving supercell tracked across the old Mustang burn scarred Colson Creek drainage basin (Mustang Fire from 2012). According to Doppler radar estimates, this storm unleashed 0.42 of rainfall in 30 minutes across this drainage basin. At one point the cloud tops reached over 50 kft which meant that the storm had tapped into all the potential instability. These torrential rains produced a debris flow that damaged and made Colson Creek road impassable. The debris flow traveled over several homeowners' properties and damaged a hydro-electric pump causing power outages.
