TEAM RUBICON - Hurricane Irene - Hollywood, MD

Teams of Team Rubicon volunteers stood ready to deploy along the NE coast in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irene. The storm's initial destruction was thankfully within the resources and response of emergency agencies, and TR stood down. But a piece of intel came in from the small town of Hollywood, MD. A powerful and destructive weather event (either an extremely violent downburst or a tornado - the residents have conflicting theories) wreaked havoc on the neighbors of Whiskey Creek Road. A small, mainly DC-based, TR team was deployed immediately to aid in the cleanup of downed trees and blocked driveways in this tight-knit community.
