North Texans in California evacuated after losing home.

North Texas Couple Loses Home in Eaton Fire

A North Texas couple living in Southern California lost their home after they were forced to evacuate due to the Eaton fire.

Journey of Lauren and Christopher Fordinal

Lauren and Christopher Fordinal, originally from Plano and Midlothian, have called Altadena home for several years, raising their two young daughters in the neighborhood. As the fire neared last week, the family knew their time at home was limited.

Preparation and Temporary Stay

Lauren Fordinal told KRLD’s media partner NBC DFW that they had a few days’ worth of things packed in bags that were already in the car.

Gratitude for Insurance Coverage

The Fordinals were briefly allowed back into their neighborhood but returned to a friend’s house, where they are staying during the blaze. The family expressed gratitude for their insurance coverage, especially as many Californians have recently been dropped by their providers.
