We, by the way, are not in the predicted area, which makes the whole article more of an "oh, how interesting" rather than a "guess it's time to up the insurance" sort of thing. On one hand, I hope he is right, because being able to predict earthquakes would be so wonderful in terms of saving people. On the down side, I hope it doesn't happen, because people will die.
Another thought...keeping house insurance during fire season is hard enough and worse when we're having a high-danger year; imagine trying to keep it when an earthquake has been predicted.
