00:00This is the corner house on the left side of my house.
00:07This is across the street, the corner house and the two houses in front and the entire street on my right side is decimated.
00:25From what I could see, every house is burnt down on my block except for my house.
00:36Why do I do this? Why do I deserve this? I don't know. I don't think I deserve it but God bless everybody else.
01:00With plenty of insurance to rebuild. God knew what he had to do to protect me because I'm an idiot.
01:13I might not have had insurance. I don't know. I got to check if I paid it.
01:18Meanwhile, everybody else's house around me is, oh my God, everybody behind me.
01:25Everybody, how is this? How could this even be true?
01:30Everybody behind me is burned down.
01:32My lumber, even all of my lumber burned.
01:41Even the lumber that we were building the extension of the house.
01:48But my house is intact.
01:51But even my lumber burned down.
01:54How does that happen if not God?
01:57The neighbors are gone.
02:04The garage is even still standing.
02:07I don't understand how this happens.
02:10This is God.
02:13Not because I feel I deserve it either. I just don't know.
02:18But God protected me.
02:21But God protected me.
02:25My neighbor's house is gone 100%.
02:31Even the old garage door burned a little bit at the, look at, but the garage didn't burn.
02:39Oh, I do have a little bit of fire damage in here. Yes.
02:43So, looks like the garage burned from the flames on this side of the house.
02:50And they're still kind of burning.
02:53All right, we're going to go ahead and put some water on that right now.
02:56Make sure we put that out so it doesn't reignite.
03:00Besides that, the entire house is still here.
03:08Thank you, God.
03:11Thank you, God.
03:16This is the whole block.
03:21Everybody.
03:24Everybody's house is gone.
