 * Symbol question.svg When was the article officially created as a new article? It looks like it was nominated on July 8. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:35, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Moved to mainspace July 1. YE Pacific Hurricane 13:54, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Long enough, and less than 3 hours over the 7-day nomination allowance period, which is so close that I'm willing to state that it's new enough, QPQ done, all non-lead ¶ with citations, a copyvio check reveals no problems, hook content is interesting. There is no inline citation verifying content of ALT1 at the end of the sentence stating this in the article. This source verifies the first hook, but is it a reliable source?

 * Given it's been used in multiple FAC's, and is published by a professor at a research laboratory, yes. ATL 1 is verified in the hook in the line. "Inundated Houses 420". Inundated is basically a fancy word for flooded. YE Pacific Hurricane 14:40, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay, but the ALT still needs an inline citation, per 3b of the WP:DYKRULES: "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact. Citations at the end of the paragraph are not sufficient". North America1000 14:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Ridiculous, but added. YE Pacific Hurricane 14:50, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. Sorry for your troubles; I didn't invent the inline citation rule, but I have to abide by it. North America1000 14:53, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
