  • Bit late, but here's an
ALT1: ... that Hurricane Heather caused the normally-dry Santa Cruz River to reach a 100-year flood stage? (Source: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00431672.1978.9931855; it's paywalled but I can email a scan to a reviewer if needed)
If that doesn't work (or some variation of it), I'm out of ideas. I don't think there's much for a DYK hook here, and I'm not that confident in my abilities to find interesting hooks. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 04:07, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

@Skarmory: hook is alright. Though, you should fix the redirect of the santa cruz river. Also, you could just quote the sentence(s) that support the hook here. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
