Tent City! Tent City! Tent City!

I attended a ward in SLC yesterday and they were passing out flyers for a special meeting this week on earthquake awareness

I kept thinking that it was a sneaky way to introduce people to the prepper ideals.

Travelers almost doubled the premium for earthquake insurance on my home this year. I'm paying $129 now instead of $73. Maybe they know something we don't.

Is that $129 a year? If so, it's very affordable. Earthquake premiums in Utah can easily go over $1000 a year.

If, on the other hand, it's $129 a month then that seems more like what one would expect to pay.

Which travelers? Was Gozer the Gozerian one of them?

Didn't GBH say specifically that doomsday wasn't necessarily coming soon, but we should live lives of preparedness on principle while also living our lives, raising our children, and being proactive in the world community? How is this not considered a subversive group?

Considering the history of Christianity is one of (unfulfilled) doomsday prophecies, perhaps Rowe et al. are the true orthodoxes.

My annual EQ premium is under $125.

Is that how much you pay to keep the Elder's Quorum from ever calling? Very much worth it.

Why spend money on earthquake insurance when you can just earthquake proof your home?

Why spend money on earthquake insurance or earthquake proofing one's home when one can buy a tent?

I'm pretty sure Do-Terra sells something that works for earthquake-proofing.

Not sure I get the ridicule on this one. I would assume that they aren't talking about a seismic retrofit, but do-able stuff like securing your water heater, etc. Nothing wrong with that.

That's per yer. My agent told me I'm the only customer she has with it. After Hurricane Katrina, I have EVERY kind of coverage available on my home. In fact, when I bought my house, I was told it wasn't a flood zone. Screw that, I got flood insurance anyway. In August of 2011, we got 4 1/2 inches of rain in 90 minutes. Our neighborhood flooded, with water a foot deep in places. My shed had 6-7 inches inside it (not that, sickos), my laundry room, which is off my carport, got an inch. After that, the Army Corps declared our area a flood zone. But, because I had already bought a policy when it wasn't required, I'm grandfathered in at the A premium rate, so my premium is about $400 a year instead of $1000. Even better, the policy can stay with the home if I sell it, so if someone keeps it, they're grandfathered in at the lower rate.

As for earthquake insurance, I felt that Virginia quake a few years ago, and Charleston was leveled by a quake in the 1800's. My policy has a 15% deductible and doesn't cover damage to the brick veneer. But, it's still worth it, as an earthquake on this sandy soil will probably lead to liquefaction.

Well this was the 2nd reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, so the Traveler came as a large and moving Lamashtu. Many Shuvs and Cokerites died in childbirth that day I can tell you.

There must have been a Do-Terra convention in SLC yesterday as about half the audience erupted when Lloyd asked if anyone was there from Do-Terra. Ruined the spirit of the whole broadcast.

Not really. Rick Elliott's first chord on Gently Raise was a powerful cleanser. But it was harder to breathe during the broadcast.
