What the National Weather Service wrote

Dept. of Highways and the general public reported several roads damaged or washed out in the Richmond and Bolton areas. This was due to flash flooding after 3 to 5 inches of excessive rainfall fell in the affected area. Roads affected included, but were not limited to Route 2 by the Bolton Valley Access Road, and Route 2 in Jonesville at Jones Mill Road. Subsequent storm surveys indicated damage on Besaw Road.

The wider storm

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.

Began near Rhode Is Corners (44.3946, -73.0561).
