At approximately 0400MST on December 11, a massive landslide occurred near Eagle View Lane, roughly 2 miles south-southwest of Bull Lake. The debris flow significantly damaged a residential garage, and the residents were unharmed. An Emergency Declaration was issued to address the lowland flooding and debris removal. Highway 56 near Bull Lake was forced to close between mileposts 16.7 and 17.2 after overwhelmed culverts allowed stream overflow to inundate the roadway. The emergency manager reported that over a dozen properties were isolated from Highway 56, either by a foot of water over access bridges or by an approximate 50-yard-wide flow of sediment-laden water separating residences from the main road. |A bridge on Montana Highway 471/Thompson Pass Road, near milepost 15, was washed out by Prospect Creek, resulting in a road closure. Prospect Creek also flooded the Prospect Creek campground at the Wild Coyote, located 7 miles up Prospect from Highway 200.
A member of the public reported a strong thunderstorm with heavy rain, lightning gusty winds that moved through between 2 and 3 am MDT. They received 0.75 total rainfall measured.
Widespread power outage in Thompson Falls with up to 4000 thousand customers without power. There was also a downed tree at the bottom of Cherry Creek Road around 7:20pm.
