The media is too concerned about Conrad Murray and the latest femme fatale killer to bother talking about the impact of Hurricane Irene on upstate New York. Our CSA farmer lost everything. Everything. And CSAs aren't typically covered by flood insurance, because insurance covers large crops not small, multi-varietal crops.

Michael Jackson’s deathbed photos are way more interesting than the loss of people’s livelihoods in a natural disaster. *rollseyes* I recommend http://www.watershedpost.com and their FB/Twitter feeds if you’re interested in more info. Two people in an apartment in Andes pretty much coordinated all the reporting on this while it was happening. I’ve donated to the MARK Project, and you can too: http://markproject.org/.
