The Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office has told the Orange County Sheriff’s Department that they have not found any evidence of foul play after Earl Thomas’ house burned down in August.
What the TSMO did confirm through the National Weather Service was two lightning strikes close to Thomas’ home on Bear Path Rd. as a storm blew through the area on August 11.
The home was a total loss. The garage and pool house was not damaged by fire.
