00:25
From what I could see, every house is burnt down on my block except for my house.
00:36
Why 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.
01:00
With plenty of insurance to rebuild. God knew what he had to do to protect me because I'm an idiot.
01:13
I might not have had insurance. I don't know. I got to check if I paid it.
01:18
Meanwhile, everybody else's house around me is, oh my God, everybody behind me.
01:25
Everybody, how is this? How could this even be true?
01:30
Everybody behind me is burned down.
01:32
My lumber, even all of my lumber burned.
01:41
Even the lumber that we were building the extension of the house.
01:48
But my house is intact.
01:51
But even my lumber burned down.
01:54
How does that happen if not God?
01:57
The neighbors are gone.
02:04
The garage is even still standing.
02:07
I don't understand how this happens.
02:10
This is God.

Not because I feel I deserve it either. I just don't know.
02:18
But God protected me.
02:21
But God protected me.
02:25
My neighbor's house is gone 100%.
02:31
Even the old garage door burned a little bit at the, look at, but the garage didn't burn.
02:39
Oh, I do have a little bit of fire damage in here. Yes.
02:43
So, looks like the garage burned from the flames on this side of the house.
02:50
And they're still kind of burning.
02:53
All right, we're going to go ahead and put some water on that right now.
02:56
Make sure we put that out so it doesn't reignite.
03:00
Besides that, the entire house is still here.
03:08
Thank you, God.
03:11
Thank you, God.
03:16
This is the whole block.
