Disastrous flooding occurred in the Midwest in 2008. Among the Illinois counties receiving FEMA relief was Cook County (Chicago).

I also think bcpkid and Oats are right. The flooding just ties it in even better to New Orleans. Also, the City of New Orleans train runs from New Orleans through the Mississippi Delta to Chicago. This was the historic route that the African-American migrants used to flee segregation for what they hoped would be a better life in Chicago.
