Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see.

The only thing I can find wrong with that is that they have spelt 'rased'
with a 'z'.


That being the favoured and current spelling in the OED, which quotes 'razed to
the ground' as an example of usage.

In the last decade or so it has become more common to use the 's' instead of
the 'z' in words such as rased (both are correct) to distinguish British
English from American English, the latter always use 'z'.

'rase' in this context appears to have fallen into disuse a couple of hundred
years ago.
"5. To demolish, to level with the ground; to RAZE. Now rare. Also with up."
