Hurricane Irene did a lot of damage along the East Coast in August of 2011. The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Team was in our area helping people in need from around the area. I had the opportunity to interview Stephan Kaftan the Red Cross Shelter Manager. We hope yo learn a bit about what and how the Red Cross is here to help when needed.
Hurricane Earl came and went on September 3, 2010 as a tropical storm by the time it reached the New England area.
This report is on the day after the storm, Sept. 4th 2010. The sun is out, weather is
great for labor day weekend and we dodged a bullet this time as far as storms go.
For us hardy New England people it was the anticipation for what we know what could have been a very different story.
So, always be prepared for the worst and hope for the best as we do. The long holiday
weekend has just begun.
Enjoy it!
