Most lenders won't even provide you w/a loan unless you have fire coverage, earthquake insurance is a little tougher, they offered us earthquake coverage w/a 75,000 deductible, so we turned it down. Most houses aren't covered since an earthquake is considered an act of god.
dont u hate it when there is an earthquake and your house burns down

Man that's some scary stuff. Got a buddy in OC says fire within 2 miles of his house but not moving that way today. Stay safe all.

You mean like cover people without coverage. Fat chance of that! Feds might provide some relief though.

It's not one fire. . . very doubtful it's arson, esp. given the time of year and weather.

Our neighbors across the street, our good friends, lost their home in Lake Arrowhead, a mountain resort, yesterday. It was going to be their retirement home. Some s2kers met them at my BBQS.

It's my understanding the fire(s) in Orange County near Irvine are blamed on arson.
