The wider storm

A cold front moved across New York during the early morning hours and Vermont during the morning hours of September 11th. Preceding this cold front was a rather solid line of showers and thunderstorms that stretched from the Canadian border south to the Massachusetts border that moved across VT in the pre-dawn hours. Scattered severe thunderstorms knocked down numerous trees and caused subsequent power outages. In addition, numerous cloud to ground lightning strikes caused power outages and actually caused a fire that destroyed an historic dairy barn at the Shelburne Farms in Shelburne.

Began near Franklin (44.9800, -72.9200).
