Typhoon Pamela (1976)[edit]
- ... that Typhoon Pamela contributed to the wettest month on record in Guam after slowly crossing the island, dropping 27 in (690 mm) of rainfall in a 24 hour period?

Everything checks out. The article is new -- moved from user space on Aug. 15. It easily meets the minimum length requirement. The hook fact strikes me as sufficiently interesting/extraordinary. The prose used in the article is good. The sources relied upon in the article appear to be solid, reliable sources. The 27 inches of rainfall in 24 hours is verified by the "Annual Typhoon Report," at page 26. Similarly, the "wettest month" fact is verified by the Lander/Guard report, at page 11. In the future, please include page numbers in your citations when referring to lengthy works of this type. Otherwise, it's very time-consuming to try to verify the information. The "Meteorological history" section is entirely sourced to the "Annual Typhoon Report," and I spot-checked that source for evidence of copyvio or unduly close paraphrasing, and found no such evidence. I then spot-checked a couple of the other on-line sources and found nothing that I found to be problematic. This article is a nice piece of work on a notable topic. Good work.
