This article is about a damaging and deadly flood in Sri Lanka, a small island southeast of India. That is the main focus, but the storm also had larger reaching effects, such as potentially contributing to a deadly heat wave that killed 1,900 people. It serves as a great source for flooding damage in a tropical island country, and I am sure it meets all of the FA criteria. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! ♫

Oppose - definitely an interesting article, but one that would benefit from a going-over for both grammar/flow and MOS compliance. Just in the lead we've got "although increased wind shear weakening it" and "on May 19 as a re-intensified into a cyclonic storm" and "After a 15 day period". Happy to strike once a copy-edit has been done. Nikkimaria ( talk) 04:13, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
As I comb through the article, I note that it seems to already be in fairly good shape. Before I finish my copyediting and offer my support, I'd like to see resolved a few issues that I'm not quite comfortable tackling myself.

Thank you for the copyedit, but I've changed my mind about this article. While I might nominate it in the future, this wouldn't affect any ongoing topics, and so I am withdrawing the nomination. Thank you all for the time so far. All comments here will be addressed before a future run. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 03:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC) reply
