Default sinkhole coverage

I'm concerned as well. I live in a burb of Memphis. When we bought our house we were told by the bank that we needed to earthquake coverage. We have it with 10% deductible. it's not cheap either

Turns out the last quake just north of us was a 100 years ago and created Reelfoot Lake. (The Mississippi went backwards for three days) Supposedly these quakes come every 100 years or so.

Our house can't be sold soon enough!

Funny thing I expect our home insurance in TV (with any sinkhole coverage we can get) will be half what we pay in Memphis and our new designer will be much higher in cost than we are selling our current house
