Hurricane Irene was not nice to much of Vermont. We live in the relatively unscathed town of Barre. For which we are very grateful. Many other parts of Vermont - not so nice. We love our local -truly local- radio station WDEV in Waterbury Vermont, that keeps us informed. Many heroes. Many stories to unfold.
