Heavy rainfall from training showers and thunderstorms produced flash flooding across Chittenden and Lamoille Counties in Vermont beginning in the afternoon and evening of May 23. Excessive runoff in the steep terrain of eastern Chittenden and Lamoille counties washed out bridges, culverts, and roads. During the overnight hours the flash flooding transitioned to a flood event as larger rivers such as the Lamoille and Browns river responded to the increased flows.
