The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.

A line of thunderstorms developed across Vermont and quickly moved across the state from west to east during the early to mid afternoon hours. Some storms embedded within the line become severe bringing damaging wind gusts and large hail. Severe weather was more concentrated along the Connecticut River Valley and Lakes Region.
