A version of this story originally appeared on Baltimore Beatdown on Jan. 16.
As flood waters rose in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, 12-year-old Arthur Maulet and his grandfather escaped their home by splintering a hole in the ceiling with an axe and climbing onto their rooftop. From there, they waded through the floodwaters to the Claiborne Bridge and awaited rescue.
