Dozens of homes were destroyed, but after a year's worth of work, less than 12 families still have to rebuild. During Tuesday’s anniversary ceremony, the focus stayed on the volunteers. Video

One year ago, on August 28th, 2011, FOX23's Katherine Underwood and photographer Peter Busa made the trip to Gilboa for a news story.Irene hit that morning and they got stuck on a road in Middleburgh with no way out. They spent the night with one generous family and other storm victims. Since then, many of those families have rebuilt with the help of countless volunteers and Schoharie County has received more than $10.2 million in state and federal aid. Recently, Katherine and Peter went back to Middleburgh to see the progress. Video

Victims of Irene and Lee are still dealing with cleanup and now have another big undertaking, tax time. Congressman Paul Tonko held a meeting at Schoharie High to help get some questions answered.

Irene’s flood waters tore up the parking lot at the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, uncovering remnants of an 18th century fort. Video

There's nothing like being home for the holidays, but for some flood victims, that may not be an option.
