WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Remove the unsupported commentary about what the reports did not specify. - "Forecast details, including expected rainfall totals and the timing and severity of the strongest conditions, were not specified in the reports.": This is commentary about the source material and is also contradicted by the Yahoo title indicating a timeline for heavy rainfall in Houston.
