Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/January 1982 California floods; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
More than 18,000 of the slides induced by the storm transformed into debris flows that swept down hillslopes or drainages with little warning.The current hook says that over 18,000 slides occurred overall, while the source says that over 18,000 slides swept with little warning. I've added ALT1 which I believe follows the meaning in the source while still staying interesting. Thanks for your hard work! Bsoyka ( t • c • g) 04:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Fourth and upcoming review to be this one! Looking forward to delivering your first GA,
ChrisWx! Reviewing will take a few days, and since it's weather-related, I'm at least in my comfort zone reviewing this. ;) ~

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
especially in Santa Cruz and Marin countieswhile describing the impacts from isolated communities per the information I included regarding multiple places in Santa Cruz County, as well as some places in Marin County in the Impact section. If you think this line should be modified or removed, then I will not object to that.
over 7,500 homes and businesses were damaged, with more than 250 destroyed.per WP:CALC, adding together the >6,000 homes damaged by the flooding and the 1,500 businesses damaged, as well as the 231 homes + 65 businesses destroyed.
That's all I've got, courtesy ping ChrisWx! :) ~ Tails Wx ( 🐾, me!) 03:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Tails Wx, @ ChrisWx, just a couple of comments on the GA review. I'm not sure that a post from a random Patch.com contributor should be considered reliable. However, that source cites a Santa Cruz Sentinel article ( link) which could be used. There's also a typo in in the Niekerken cite (should be Chronicle). If you could address these issues, that would be great and I should then be able to asses the review for the GA backlog drive. Thanks! — Ganesha811 ( talk) 20:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
