The following story is from the Lake Champlain Committee series Lessons from the Floods.

Pawlet sits in the southeastern corner of Rutland County surrounded by the Taconic Mountains. The Mettowee River rolls through town as do many smaller feeder streams. Given the topography, the rivers and the six inches of rain Irene brought to the area, it is surprising how little damage the town suffered. Much of the credit for the town’s resilience in the face of Irene belongs to Clarence Decker.
