- Drive-by comment: ALT0 gives no indication of how long this period was. I suggest this tweak:
- ALT0a: ... that within 24 hours, 18.33 inches (46.6 cm) of rain fell in Guam during Typhoon Alice, a record that was not surpassed for another 23 years? Yoninah (talk) 16:12, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

QPQ done. Article was mainspaced on 20 November and nominated the same day. Is long enough, suitably referenced, free of copyvio. Cites reliable sources. Both hooks verified, but I think that ALT0a is far more interesting. Looks good to go. Eddie891 Talk Work 23:06, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
