When severe flooding visited the city of Barre, VT, last week, Bonnie Plante was the unlucky resident whose home sustained the most damage in town. Three feet of water left mud, silt, and debris in the basement and first floor of the place she’d call home for most of her life. Bonnie had lost many of her belongings, but TR members were able to salvage roughly 4,000 square feet of property which contained several keepsakes. She referred to the team as her “guardian angels” and planted multiple hugs on those who deployed on Operation: Granite Thunder.

Fifteen members deployed to Barre, VT and logged 540 hours over a weekend to help homeowners affected by flooding.
