Long stretches of the recreation path were badly damaged in the July floods.

At the peak of the flooding in July, more than 4 billion gallons of water flowed into Lake Champlain every hour carrying fuel oil, mercury, diesel, and phosphorus from upstream communities.

Thousands of Vermonters affected by the July floods applied for aid under FEMA's individual assistance program. Here's what the data shows.

While some buildings have reopened post-flood, several key buildings in the state capital � including the Supreme Court building � will remain closed during recovery. Officials are moving some services to nearby buildings.

Gov. Phil Scott said it could take until next year to fully restore the 93-mile recreation path that runs from St. Johnsbury to Swanton.

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 weren't able to completely escape catastrophic flooding.

Rainfall totals reached 9.2 inches in North Calais in the initial storm. Rivers across Vermont responded differently to the heavy rains.
