Created by Tails Wx (talk). Self-nominated at 21:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/August 2014 United States floods; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- All article checks come clean, hook matches article and source, and hook is interesting. I wonder if it could be made more interesting, looking at the lead it says "Additionally, several rainfall records were broken". Maybe it'd be more interesting to mention that multiple records were broken instead of just the one? Everythign looks good, just waiting for QPQ. —Panamitsu (talk) 05:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Got the QPQ, Panamitsu. How about ALT1:
- ...that during the August 2014 United States floods, multiple rainfall records were set across several states, including in Michigan, Maine, and New York?
- I prefer this one. It's more direct and more surprising! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:30, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
