Emotionally, he may not have been ready.
But, he was ready with the sprinklers and hoses

The composure he has shows me he’s definitely seen the worst the world had to offer . The issue for him is, now his family is with him in this war zone

ANYONE THAT HAS NOTHING NICE TO SAY...SHUT UP..

PRAYING FOR YOU ❤

No one is ready for this type
of disaster 😢

It sounds like he saved his house and possibly others. Well done with the sprinkler. This sounds like something others could do in similarly high risk neighborhoods.

Unbelievable. To think a/b the length & extent boggles the heart and mind.
Yes, agree 150%. The Aftermath vid footage depicts what looks like a Bomb Zone leveled. You can see devastation for miles and miles. 😢❤😮
