Coal Creek (Susquehanna River)

 * ... that when Coal Creek flooded on July 3, 2011, it caused "indescribable damage", but the affected areas did not qualify for federal aid?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Statue of Robert Peel, Parliament Square
 * Comment: I'd like to incorporate the fact that 5 inches of rain fell in 90 minutes, but I can't figure out a non-clunky way to put it in. Suggestions?

 * *ALT1 ... that the 2011 Coal Creek Flood was the result of a storm that pummeled the region with 5 in of rain in 90 minutes?
 * ALT2 ... that after a 2011 storm at Coal Creek pummeled the region with 5 in of rain in 90 minutes causing "indescribable damage", the area did not qualify for government aid?
 * *ALT3 ... that Coal Creek was denied government aid in 2011 after "indescribable damage" was done by a storm that pummeled the region with 5 in of rain in 90 minutes?
 * How about these? — Maile (talk) 16:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Of those, ALT2 is the best, though I still prefer the original. --Jakob (talk)  16:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I was just responding to your comment trying to find a way to incorporate everything. It's your call - you and whoever the reviewer is. — Maile  (talk) 18:32, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Long enough, new enough, QPQ done. How's this hook:
 * ALT4 ... that the "indescribable damage" caused by 5 in of rain descending upon Coal Creek did not qualify for federal aid?-- Laun  chba  ller  14:04, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * How about this: ALT5:  ... that the "indescribable damage" caused by 5 in of rain descending upon Coal Creek in 90 minutes did not qualify for federal aid? --Jakob (talk)  14:09, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
