To me it seems like the kind of story a kid in my third or fourth grade class could write when recounting an experience. It would not be verbatim accurate, but the intention would be there to communicate the real story as accurately as the kid could.

I'm still in disbelief that the FT profanity filters allowed a posting of a word whose root is the four letter vulgarity for feces, an allowance that takes place when attaching that word to "storm".
Trying to stop this is basically impossible. In IT circles it's known as the S....horpe problem. You either filter profanity that is in words, but you should be embar***ed to do that. Other than that you have to list every likely permutation and you'll never get them all.

I guess the filter is set to go after some profanity inside words. The missing letters are the profane word for vagina. The link has the same censoring--it's the Wikipedia page talking about it.
