Created by Tails Wx (talk). Self-nominated at 05:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/August 2023 Mid-South U.S. floods; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Hi Tails Wx (talk), review follows: article created 4 August and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the information cited; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing form the sources; hook facts are both stated in the article and check out to sources cited, preference probably for ALT0 as the more interesting; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
