Do you think that earthquake insurance is worth it? I have yet to find any reliable information on the actual damage a structure (say a 2 story house built in the 90's) will take during a large earthquake in Western Washington. Some information says that a house will take minimal damage and others say your house will be razed to the ground. In what situation (House built pre a certain date vs after) would you purchase earthquake insurance.

Thanks for the reply! Do you know of any resources out there that can give a estimation of damage based on the strength of the earthquake and the amount of seismic standards/retrofits you have met on your home?
