In July, 2021 residents of the town of Mendon, VT gathered to share stories and reflect on the impact of tropical storm Irene, 10 years after it tore through their small town. In this episode of VT Untapped we hear excerpts from this story circle event.

Nine years ago the Vermont Folklife Center released “Weathering the Storm” - an audio documentary created with Vermonters from towns across the state hard hit by tropical storm Irene. In this special episode of VT Untapped we are re-presenting “Weathering the Storm” in its entirety to mark the 10th anniversary of this historic event.
