The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
On the afternoon of July 11th...a warm and very moist airmass was draped across Vermont. In addition, a slow moving cold front entered Vermont from west to east during the afternoon. This front promoted the development of numerous tropical-like showers and thunderstorms, that repeatedly generated and moved over the same areas of central and eastern Vermont. Localized heavy rainfall exceeded 3 inches within a two hour time frame with some localized storm totals approaching 6 inches across a very hilly or mountainous terrain, which resulted in flash flooding of several communities. The hardest impacted areas included Barre, Randolph, Bethel, Hardwick, Craftsbury and Stockbridge...with washed out roads, flooded basements and homes damaged or destroyed.
A Presidential Federal Flood Disaster was declared in Washington, Windsor, Orange, Orleans and Caledonia counties with a estimated storm damage total in excess of 3 million dollars.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Burlington, VT wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 11, 12:52 PM EST, 38 minutes earlier.
