Point of article

I'm not sure what the point of this article is. Why don't you consider the subject sufficiently covered by the articles you refer to? --SarekOfVulcan 20:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was done to limit the size of the second article. It was split off from the 1901-2000 article. It has been done this way for other types of weather-related lists/articles, so this isn't setting any precedent. Thegreatdr 20:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. Sorry, I wasn't familiar with the other articles.--SarekOfVulcan 14:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2008 Flooding of Meramec River (proposal for new listing)

Is this worth mentioning? I don't have all the details put together yet, but given that this was caused by episodes including 10+" of rain, affected several counties in Missouri, affected some of the same areas as in the Great Flood of 1993, water was 20 feet over flood stage at some locations, etc. Anyway, just wanted to get some opinions, thanks --Umrguy42 (talk) 00:18, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 2011 Midwest flooding

Should this be expanded to a new article? Multiple sources predict that this will exceed the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 when the waters from the Ohio River make it past Memphis. Already there have been significant actions by the USACE with blasting the levees, the evacuation of Cairo, IL, and the inundation of areas along the Ohio and middle Mississippi.

US Midwest floods 2013

I've put in preliminary material on flooding in Iowa here. This event is just beginning, but if it follows the course of the current river and rainfall forecasts, flood levels could come close to those of the Great Flood of 1993 as seen in Iowa. We should know by June 4, when the Coralville Reservoir is scheduled to overflow (for the third time in its history). When this occurs, the material I added here should probably be used to launch a new page. Douglas W. Jones (talk) 14:14, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2013 Colorado floods

Split - Floods were a major event in the United States with continuing news coverage. Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 09:55, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

August 2024 Flooding in Connecticut

This was formerly on the page under “Mid-August 2024 Northeast Floods” but was removed at some point. This flood was historic for the region, with the NWS undergoing an investigation to see if this is a new 24hr rainfall record for the state. It devastated several communities along the Housatonic such as Oxford and Southbury CT, along with having 3 confirmed fatalities (from my knowledge).

Confirmed rainfall reached over 14in (confirmed via source below) in WNW Oxford CT.

Yes, why do certain editors here keep trying to remove this? Also the flood in question caused severe damage to part of Long Island, and not just Stony Brook, New York. Besides wiping out the dam and the mill pond at Stony Brook Grist Mill, it also wiped out a dam in Blydenberg County Park, destroyed priceless artifacts and other material at the Smithtown Main Public Library in the Village of the Branch, and made a huge mess of Commack, New York and other communities. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 16:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure, the storm did immense damage across the region, much more than other floods on this list, and it keeps getting removed. Marsbound2032 (talk) 18:50, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe they dismissed it because the number of dead can be counted on one hand. Whatever the case may be, some administrator blocked it, and I put it back. I'd like to see how the survivors of the flood on both sides of the Long Island Sound would react to this attempt to erase history. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 23:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
