Recovering from Irene

Hurricane Irene swept through the Northeast last weekend with a fury that destroyed homes, roads, towns, and took lives. Now, people in towns and cities across the region are coping with the clean-up process. The storm hit places in Vermont and upstate New York particularly hard. Sean Mahoney, a resident of Hunter, New York, where Irene caused floods, says he is stunned by the way the media has chosen to cover the disaster.
