Go to the Advocate story and follow the links. Most of the FQ stayed dry, but not the back part, and apparently not the part around the RC hotel. When I got back in town on September 6, there was still plenty of water around but Canal Street at Chartres was high and dry, with media trailers and tents as far as the eye could see. I probably could have got a spectacular free meal in exchange for some wild stories. As it was, I didn’t get into the NYT till a month later.
