From Natchez Democrat:

Time to point blame is later; let's move on

Katrina overwhelmed in every way possible: decimating the coast of our own beloved state; breaching the levees of beautiful New Orleans; stretching the limits of towns now home to so many displaced residents.

There will be time in the future to point fingers of blame at the disorganization of local and state officials... the painfully slow response of the federal government.. and the lawlessness of a handful of New Orleans' own residents who turned a Category 4 storm into Defcon 5.

They do know "decimate" means reduce by 1/10th, right?
