A surface cold front and very strong mid-level disturbance moved across a highly unstable air mass across New York during the late afternoon and evening of July 8th before traversing Vermont during the evening hours. The low level jet stream was unusually strong and got entrained into the thunderstorms, thus producing scattered to widespread wind damage across portions of Vermont. Much of the wind damage was tree and utility line damage but also some structural damage due to fallen trees.
