If after an earthquake your house is damaged, light a candle and knock it over next to the curtains. Then go check on your neighbors or something. 45994@blogcritics.org Thu, 19 Feb 2004 16:02:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/15/104553.php#comment-44767 You might be surprised to find out that there is a temporary moratorium to purchase the earthquake coverage if it was close to you. When Northridge happened in 1994, there was concern echoing north here to Washington state. The main company we represent we still can't offer earthquake coverage :( This is one of those catch 22 about insurance. Life insurance is another thing not to wait too long on. Don't wait to buy it when you are in your 50's or 60's when medical issues are more common and the cost of premiums are dramatically higher and underwriting is tighter. 44767@blogcritics.org Sun, 15 Feb 2004 13:58:36 EST
