The claim was denied. In April, 1965, a backwash from the flooding of Deep Fork a year earlier hit the county equalization board when two homeowners sught a reduction in their tax assessment because of flood damage...Deep Fork again went over its banks during a rainstorm in September, 1965, and several homes in the 3200 block NW 34 were damaged.
