Is it good to have earthquake insurance? I've checked around
and it is expensive and the deductiable is like $18,000. I figured
it you have earthquake bracing (I think) then why should you carry
earthquake insurance. Could someone address the issue?
Thanks Much

Natasha, The best and cheapest earthquake insurance is to live in a earthquake resistant home to begin with. A form that has tensegrity is struturally stable. The only inherently stable form is the triangle, and a pyramid with its four triangular faces is one of the strongest forms you can build. There are very few people who offer such a structure. http://dehsigner.tripod.com/ is a site where you can see this application which will withstand 8.5 earthquakes and 250 mph winds.
