Lightning struck the roof of the complex which started a fire which spread quickly through the attic. One man, who was home when the lightning struck, described what he witnessed.
“I was in my room and I smelled the fire and went to check and through the wall, I saw smoke coming out, so at that point I called my mom and the fire department and they came, but I tried to get everything out but I couldn’t and at that point it was burning and I was suffocating myself too and I ran to this house to put my stuff in there and that’s about it. We lost everything,” said Esin Murillo.In total, four to five families were forced out of their homes.
