Length OK, new enough, neutral, no plagiarism or copyvio detected. The only problem is with the hook, so this should be OK for DYK once that is sorted out. The town was not submerged (completely underwater) for six months. The "six months" part of the hook fact is not cited immediately after the sentence in the article either.

ALT ... that flooding in New Market, caused by a tropical depression over Jamaica in 1979, had not fully subsided after six months? Belle (talk) 12:08, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Sure. I will settle for that ALT hook.--12george1 (talk) 16:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

You need to add a citation directly following the "six months" bit to comply with the DYK rules and then we can light a fire, spell out HELP in pebbles on the beach and try to draw somebody else's attention to this nom to give it the tick (I've lost my powers by proposing the ALT; ALTs are the kryptonite of the DYK reviewer).

I think I fixed it.--12george1 (talk) 17:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine. Now, hide in the ditch while I try to flag down one of the passing reviewers by flashing them a glimpse of stocking (there's probably a template for getting another reviewer's attention but I don't know the code) Belle (talk) 17:14, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Good to go per my new policy of not holding back on passing just because I suggested an ALT. The prep-builder can pick their preferred hook (hint: it's the ALT). Too bad for any secondary reviewers who wanted to see my stockings. Belle (talk) 11:15, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
