Multiple LA Residents Are Reporting Miracles

The fires that have terrorized Los Angeles residents are still raging through the iconic city.

The Eaton Fire has destroyed 14,170 acres and is 45% contained, according to the latest reports from Cal Fire.

However, projected winds could exacerbate the situation in the coming days.

Although nothing can make a tragedy like this easier for the residents of Los Angeles, there are two stories of hope that people are clinging to during this difficult time. One involves Enrique El Rey, an Altadena resident living in the county currently affected by the Eaton Fire.

Enrique recently went viral on TikTok after appearing in a news broadcast by 7 News Australia, where he became emotional, sharing that his home was still standing, even though his entire neighborhood had burned to the ground.

Standing amidst the rubble with tears in his eyes, he said:

“I shouldn’t be crying because my entire block is burnt down, but God saved my house. Why are all of my neighbors, why are they in the middle of two burnt-down blocks? There’s one house standing and that’s mine.”
