Jul 14, 2000
A very moist air mass moved over extreme southern Vermont during the afternoon of July 14. A cold front stalled to the west of the region. This scenario along with terrain enhancement, resulted in a cluster of thunderstorms developing across this region. The thunderstorms contained torrential rainfall which produced Doppler radar estimates of up to 3 inches in extreme northeast Bennington County. The result was flash flooding which washed out sections of roadways in northeast Bennington County.
