Created by Tails Wx (talk) and Elijahandskip (talk). Nominated by Tails Wx (talk) at 03:28, 15 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2023 Fort Lauderdale floods; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article checks out the new enough, long enough, and within policy criteria. I'd honestly go with that ALT1 because that's such a crazy stat to me. But I would say some tweaking should be done to ALT0. Right now "comparable to the average April rainfall total" can come off as ambiguous, bc a reader could wonder "average April rainfall total of what exactly?" I know it's probably obvious to most, but just some minor tweaking need for 100% clarity on ALT0. That and the QPQ needs to be done and then it'll be good to go.

- Soulbust, I've tweaked the ALT0 hook to "in which the rates were the average April rainfall total", and I've completed the QPQ. Let me know if any additional fixes are needed! Thanks! Tails Wx 16:13, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Tails Wx: Yep this is good to go, I like ALT1 just a touch more than ALT0, but both check out and are good to go for the DYK section. Good job on the article! Soulbust (talk) 20:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
