The wider storm

An upper level closed low, an upper level disturbance, and low level moisture all converged over southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. All of this led to a Mesoscale Convective System that moved over the area dumping one to three inches of rain and resulting in massive flash flooding in Ector County. While the main threat, and most of the resulting damage was due to flash flooding, moderate to strong instability existed across the area and produced up to softball size hail.

Began near Mentone (31.7100, -103.6000).
