UPDATE: The grandchild of the woman who owns the home reached out to ABC-7, saying there is now a GoFundMe account set up for the woman to help make repairs on her house.
“My grandmother’s home insurance is being as generous as they can be regarding repair costs,” said Thomas Krapin. “It won’t be enough for building the home from the bottom up, since the foundation of the home is ruined and will eventually collapse.
“Any amount of money would help our family right now,” Krapin added.
No one inside the home was injured, according to authorities.
