Most homeowners don't have earthquake insurance because it's very expensive and usually has high deductibles and low coverage limits. If your house is destroyed or damaged by an earthquake, your policy doesn't pay. But, if the earthquake causes a fire (as they often do) and your damage or loss is the result of the fire, you're covered. Go figure.
