Don't wait on the quake to wonder if you have Earthquake insurance protection on your home or business property.
Shake, Rattle and Roll
Feeling and hearing the earth move under your feet can be quite alarming - the thunderous rumbling, the swinging of lights, the vibrations that just seem to keep coming.
Hydraulic Fracturing
In some areas of our country, oil and gas drilling called "fracking," where high powered water/sand/chemical mixture is drilled at rock layers to release gas. This process can cause earth tremors and can be confused as "earthquakes."
