Description

A flash flood caused by a tremendous cloudburst July 17 afternoon sent waters four feet deep pouring into the Linwood Addition of Fort Worth. Many roads were impassable. The rain stopped at 2:15 pm and the water began to recede. Water reached the door of Guy Spaulding home at 1726 Wingate. Shown is the Spaulding home after water had receded.
