Kathy: Yes, we are still in the same house in Carmel, CA as we were in the 89 earthquake. We watched our carmel stone walkway pop up like popcorn! Our house was built on granite and had no where to go but up and then down. Part of the house moved downhill by a couple of inches and caused us mucho dollars in repairs. Of course our earth quake insurance would not pay for most of it. It seems insurance companies always have a clause that makes them not liable no matter what you pay in premiums. Since then, we have not paid for earthquake insurance. We learned our lesson with that earthquake. Save the dollars for repairs instead of insurance.
