When Anna Alene Williams returned home Wednesday, May 3, after a night away, there was no home to return to.
Her house at 2601 Kings Circle Drive in Granite Shoals had been gutted.
“Everything I own burned, all my papers, even my ID cards,” she said Thursday, surveying the ruins of her house and outbuildings. “I’ve lived here 30 years and it’s all gone.
“I got help with two nights in a motel, but tomorrow I am out with no place to go,” she said.
Williams has children in and around Burnet County, but she says none have room for her and her little Chihuahua dog.
