BURNET — Loney Smith sat on the ceiling of his overturned travel trailer Friday while friends and relatives helped him remove his belongings. His shower was destroyed, and the bedroom wall had caved in where it collided with another home.
"It was just a bunch of rain, a gust of wind, and then all of a sudden, we got taken for a ride," Smith said.
Residents of Burnet, which is about 50 miles northwest of Austin, experienced the worst of Thursday night's fast-moving storm. Winds as strong as 60 mph destroyed four travel trailers and recreational vehicles and flipped two small airplanes.
"We heard the rain hitting the top of the roof, and when I looked outside, the rain was like sheets coming across in front of me," said John Harker, who had stopped for the night with his wife, Carolyn, in their recreational vehicle. Winds overturned the vehicle onto a picnic table.
In Bertram, 10 miles east of Burnet, Police Chief David Caudle said that every street was littered with debris, including tree limbs and roofing shingles, and that a portion of the old fire station collapsed.
The National Weather Service said winds in Bertram may have reached 80 mph. No injuries were reported.
At the height of the storm, at least 20,000 Central Texas homes were without power. Electricity was mostly restored
by morning. Late Friday afternoon, 105 homes in rural areas were without power.
