Via Reason Hit and Run[*1] , this CNN.com story[*2] :
Except for wind damage, the Quarter stayed high and dry and so did Molly’s and Johnny White’s. And both were back in business Monday, August 29, with little apparent damage despite a lack of electricity and running water.
“That’s our job. That’s just what we do,” Molly’s owner Jim Monaghan, 47, said.
Molly’s somehow managed to serve iced drinks Sunday to a mixed crowd of die-hard locals, visiting authorities and the media gaggle. Monaghan wouldn’t say where he got the ice, and any inquisitors didn’t much care.
