Winds of up to 95 miles per hour hit Bennington County on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service says it wasn’t a tornado, it was a microburst – intense downward winds in a thunderstorm that can create damage near the surface.
The microburst was at Route 30 and North Rupert, Vermont, at the Old Gray Barn.
Several trees were snapped and uprooted.
