Wow.  Did you meet anybody who knew anything about the terrible flood?

It is a really big deal there.  My son was even in a play about it.  The stories around it are really fascinating.  I am surprised a movie has not been made about it.  People hanging on to the statue on Broadway - about 4 stories up - and seeing things sweeping past.  Over 5000 people dead.  Trying to bury people at sea because there were too many and them washing back up.  Amazing stories.  And then how they elevated the island and every thing on it (yes, they put the houses on stilts and ran sidewalks while they hauled in sand from the gulf) about 10 feet and built the seawall so it would not happen again.  I was increadibly impressed and humbled by the people there.
