Typhoon Fran

 * ... that Typhoon Fran in 1976 produced a then record 44.8 in of rain in 24 hours, in Hiso, Japan?


 * ALT1:... that Typhoon Fran in 1976 produced 2781 mm of rain over a six day period in Hiso, Japan?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary
 * Comment: Alt blurb provided in case the slight discrepancies in the 24-hour record are a bit much. I placed focus on the Hiso total since it has the most recent source (2013) and it's via the American Meteorological Society.

5x expanded by Cyclonebiskit (talk). Self-nominated at 22:50, 7 January 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg The article is new enough, as it was nominated within two days of expansion. I also accept that it is long enough. By my count, it is just shy of the 5x requirement (4.947 if you want to be exact), but that is good enough to satisfy me. The article is well-sourced, neutral and free of copyright problems as far as I can see. QPQ has been complied with. I have just one question for the author, . The placename Hiso, Tokushima is a redlink in the article's lead and not linked within the blurb. Hiso is/was not a munincipality but the location of a measuring station within the village of Kito, Tokushima (Kito merged into Naka, Tokushima about 10 years ago). Perhaps linking to the village Kito in the blurb and lead would be better? Unrelated to the blurb, another redlink in the article Fukuharaasahi, Tokushima is located within Kamikatsu, Tokushima.

 * Not sure how this didn't ping me (glad I decided to roam through my DYK nominations), but I've linked Hiso to Kito and Fukuharaasahi to Kamikatsu as suggested. Leaving the piped link as "Hiso" since that's what's stated in the sources. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:58, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sounds fair to me. Pinging again just as a test to check the ping works this time. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:20, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
