Airlifts and emergency workers continue to reach hundreds of residents stranded in flooded areas in the wake of Hurricane Irene. In Vermont, the National Guard delivered supplies to 13 towns cut off by floodwater and damaged roads since Sunday. Most of the towns remain without electricity and potable water. Meanwhile, thousands of people were evacuated in New Jersey and Connecticut on Tuesday as flood waters continued to rise. North Carolina says the storm destroyed at least 1,100 homes and caused more than $71 million in damage to its seven hardest-hit counties.
