I'm awaiting the new  Madrid fault lines burp! Ironically the last time it did so was right around that time of year. . .

  You heard the statement, "have you got milk".  With me it is,  "have you got earthquake insurance"  I have.   :biggrin:

  Oh Horse, I forgot to tell you about something that happen just on the town limit here.  But about 18 years ago they had a earth quake down there and the stone quarry here was shut down for awhile.  It was at the time when they were mining the stone under ground.  The quake had raised a 3 to 4 foot ridge of lime stone on the mine floor.  It that happened under my house it would be totaled.  I sure couldn't afford to loose my house.   :yes: :smile:

Yup. Thats a no brainer and worth every dollar in premium cost. (as long as they pay out when it happens)

Does yours pay out differently than regular home insurance. When we got ours it was explained as a percentage, not like the replacement coverage we have on the regular insurance. I'm not sure if it is just our insurance company is like that or all of them are.

  I'm going to have to check that.  I got replacement insurance.  If my 130 year old house is slid off it ruble foundation and it cost more to put it back and all of the hard wood floors and native wood walls fixed, the lath plaster fixed, plus the ruble foundation was crumbles.  How can they come up with a percentage.    :confused:

Ours is repair / replacement costs surrounding structural / content damage, or current market value surrounding total loss. Same coverage surrounding alternative living costs in case home is unsafe until repairs are made.

Our regular insurance is repair/replacement value, and we have had excellent service from that company during the ice storm and when we were robbed. But when we bought the earthquake insurance it pays like 90% instead of the other.

  I would really like to know how you were robbed.  I trust insurance companies like I would trust my living standard with Romney.   :wink:

Came in during the night, took about $2,500 worth of stuff from the garage and house. We think the dog scared them off when they started down the hallway. We were asleep.

That's scary.

Glad no one in your family was hurt physically (including the dog -- I'm a pooch lover).
