Talk:2023 Fort Lauderdale floods

Can we really call this a historic flood at this point
It is still very early in this event I don't know if it could be considered "Historic" idk if it would fall under objectivity. Only one source has stated such and is not backed by full research or in relation to other flood's Zwphyr (talk) 14:03, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
 * CNN “Fort Lauderdale experienced the rainiest day in its history Wednesday – a 1-in-1,000-year rainfall event”, The City of Wilton Manors “The City has experienced historic rainfall”, Tulsa World “Historic flooding struck Fort Lauderdale”, CBS News “Fort Lauderdale declares state of emergency after historic rainfall, flooding. I think there is enough sources to verify the “Historic” statement in the lead. Elijahandskip (talk) 15:52, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Change the name to show expanded impact?
The storm impacted much of South Florida, including large populated areas of Broward County outside of Fort Lauderdale proper, including Hollywood, Davie and Dania Beach. Miami-Dade also suffered significant flooding, especially on April 11. Should we change the name to 2023 South Florida floods to be more encompassing? ItsGrrreat (talk) 01:02, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I’m not opposed to it. That said, almost all the news articles focus on Fort Lauderdale. Even WPC’s technical discussion (the one pictured in the article) specifically mentions Fort Lauderdale. Honestly, the “Fort Lauderdale flood” might be the common name for this flooding event. I’ll wait for others to comment, but I’m a little bit leaning to keeping the current name on common-name reasons. Elijahandskip (talk)
 * Well, there's an article: 2023 South Florida floods and ironically, I created it, though that article is proposed to merge into 2023 Fort Lauderdale floods. Tails   Wx  13:51, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Fort Lauderdale Flood is the appropriate name. The extremely heavy rain was very localized to Fort Lauderdale itself (and specifically to the area around the airport).  While the rest of the county did see heavy rain and localized street flooding, it was not beyond what occasionally happens during summer storms (let alone hurricanes).  Many folk in the western side of the urban area, including myself, were not aware anything unusual had happened until the following day's news - heavy rain is simply a normal thing in South Florida.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:CA70:435:8CF7:BBC2:38D3 (talk) 16:03, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
