SALISBURY, Maryland (Reuters) - Building a house in a week is always a challenge for the 60 crew members who work on the ABC reality show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," but this week they faced a double whammy: first an earthquake, then a 600-mile wide hurricane named Irene.
The hit television program is building a soup kitchen and home in the Rehoboth Beach area of Delaware for Dale Dunning and her husband Ken, who have been providing food for hundreds of needy residents for a dozen years.
Work at the site began on Monday, then the mid-Atlantic region was hit by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday.
The rude interrruptions from Mother Nature continued on Friday, when the show's executive producer George Verschoor; the local builder, Schell Brothers; and government officials called off work until after Hurricane Irene passed.
