Mr. Allman, thank you for two things. One, for your wonderful review of this revised piece of work, and two, for not starting your review with Katrina Shorthand.
More news sources than not employ lazy journalism when describing the flooding of metro New Orleans in 2005. The majority of them say "Katrina flooded the city."
To say Katrina flooded New Orleans is like saying traffic wrecked the bridge in Minneapolis. Both the storm and the traffic revealed structural flaws. Both revealed blatant civil engineering mistakes.
And as noted author John McQuaid of Path of Destruction observed regarding the use of Katrina Shorthand, "this is not a minor semantic point."
