Former Seahawk Earl Thomas’ home catches fire<\/h4>\n

A fire destroyed the home of former Seahawk Earl Thomas in Texas, and firefighters believe a lightning strike caused it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Texas home of former Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas<\/u> burned down on Thursday after reportedly being struck by lightning in what officials say is a “total loss,” according to multiple reports. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thomas, who last played with the Baltimore Ravens in 2019, was home with two family members at his residence in Orange, Texas, when he heard a “popping sound” and saw smoke in the house early Thursday evening, Orange Fire Department Deputy Chief Payton Smith told FOX4 Beaumont.<\/u><\/p>\n

Images of the home showed a raging fire that began near the southeast corner of Thomas’ home, 12NewsNow reported<\/u>. Officials told the outlet that fire crews were forced to pull back because of intense flames and smoke and worked in “defensive mode” to get the fire under control.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No cause has been confirmed, but fire officials are reportedly not ruling out the possibility of lightning striking the house. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Smith told FOX4 that half of the home collapsed and that the house is a “total loss” after Thursday’s fire. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thomas, a Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowler, was released by the Raven in 2020<\/u> after getting into a fight with a teammate during offseason training. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

he played for the Seahawks<\/u> from 2010-2018 but never took the field for Seattle again after raising his middle finger toward head coach Pete Carroll while being carted off the field with a leg injury during Week 4 of the 2018 season. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In May, Thomas was arrested after violating a protective order by allegedly sending threatening messages to a woman about her and her children. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thomas, who is currently a free agent, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter in April that he is “ready” to resume his NFL career.<\/p>\n
