Event narrative

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.

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.
