What the National Weather Service wrote

Numerous cars at a car lot were dented from the large hail. Trees and powerlines were knocked down in Cataldo and along Coeur D Alene Road.

The wider storm

A deep trough of low pressure dropped down the Washington Coastline then swung inland into the Inland Northwest during the afternoon of July 23rd. The wave took on a strong negative tilt and moved into a moist and very unstable air mass. The outcome was a widespread severe weather event for Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho producing large hail, flash flooding, and widespread wind damage. Falling trees led to some injuries in Eastern Washington.

Began near Calder (47.3277, -116.3178).
