State and local officials say it appears many of the post-Irene upgrades held up during this month’s storm. But early returns also suggest that some communities that didn't update their infrastructure paid a heavy price, and even some that did.

"If we innovate, if we think about the future, if we actually build for the future we can do much better when this comes next time. We have to really make lemonade out of these lemons" - my Irene reflections @vermontpublic #vtflood23 https://t.co/pg1qiPibkC

The Vermont floods have been devastating, but my reporting with @KitchenReport @rirob111 also uncovered stories of resilience. As @SueMinterVT, VT’s 2011 Irene recovery officer says, “I think we’re … so much more prepared and ready than we ever were before.” #Vermont #floods

Willem Jewett, a former majority leader of the Vermont House, died today, according to his doctor.

Among his final acts was to tell @rirob111 why he supported proposed changes to Vermont’s aid-in-dying law.
