Tuesday, December 20, 2005

Chartiers Creek is usually a quiet neighbor as it snakes through Carnegie. But in September, the creek, swollen by record rainfall, became a river that roared out of its banks and blanketed the borough in mud and wreckage. It devastated homes and businesses and left many wondering how to carry on. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review will follow a handful of families and businesses as they recover from Ivan and rebuild their lives.
