Event narrative

Dept. of Highways and the general public reported several roads damaged or washed out due to flash flooding after excessive rainfall of 3 to 5 inches fell in the Charlotte and Hinesburg areas. These included, but were not limited to Spear St., Route 116 at Commerce St., and Route 116 between VT 2A and CVU Road. Subsequent storm surveys confirmed damage on Beecher Hill Rd. and N Road.

Wider weather episode

The remnants of TS Beryl combined with deep tropical moisture and a stationary front draped across the region produced multiple rounds of heavy showers and storms. This led to numerous reports of flash flooding, some locally severe across a roughly 50 mile swath through Chittenden, Washington, Lamoille, Caledonia, Orleans and Essex Counties.
