Hurricane Irene caused major damage, even if the news cycle has abandoned that story. Here is a first-person video from someone in Vermont showing the amazing amount of flooding in his area:

Help: I have 37 points to donate this month and can't find how to send it to Hurricane Irene victims. What do I do? Thanks!

Hello there!
First of all, thank you for being a Modes Needs donor. The wife of our programmer (who was to make the donation option change) went into labor very early, at 28 weeks, and so he has been unable to make the update. The family is doing fine, and the change will be made ASAP.
Have a great day, and thanks again!
