Residents of northwestern and central Vermont enjoyed a quiet day 30 years ago on this date, in 1984, but clouds gathered toward dark, followed by thunderstorms that dumped up to 6 inches of rain overnight, from the 6th into the early morning hours of the 7th, washing out parts of Rt. 2 and Rt. 302, resulting in severe local flooding in Washington and Orange counties, and a mudslide in Calais closed Rt. 14.
