[edit]- ... that Tropical Storm Greta was described as a "bomb that did not explode"?

The article is generally well-cited, but it lacks an in-line citation for the quotation within the hook fact. This needs to be added beforet his can be approved. Cbl62 (talk) 05:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks, but the hook fact needs to have an in-line citation immediately after the fact in the article. Also, the lead should not have facts that are not in the main part of the article. The lead should simply summarize the article. Here, the hook fact is only in the lead and not in the body. Once those points are fixed, this should be good to go.

In-line citation has now been added for the hook fact. Better if it were not in the lead, but instead in the body, since the lead should just summarize what's already in the body. That should be fixed, but the article is now OK for DYK. Cbl62 (talk) 19:17, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
