What the National Weather Service wrote

A federal agency reported water out of bank near Santa, Idaho on the St Maries river and an ice jam.

The wider storm

An intense surface low pressure system moved from west to east along the Southern British Columbia border and dragged a cold front through as well. The resulting high winds brought about substantial damage across North Idaho. In addition heavy rain over the two days preceding and occurring with the windstorm brought about river rises, mudslides, and debris flows.

Began near Santa (47.1500, -116.4500).
