What happened

The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.

A very warm and humid air mass was located across Vermont during the afternoon of June 2nd. A strong mid-atmospheric disturbance, ahead of a cold front, moved across portions of Vermont and triggered widespread thunderstorms with pockets of damaging winds and large hail. Some of the damage occurred in the Rutland vicinity as well as the Route 2 corridor between Montpelier and Lunenburg. At the peak of the event, roughly 20,000 customers had lost power.
