We get that all the time from more than just Allstate here in California,

My inlaws have had their house insurance cancelled twice in the last 5 years without filing a claim.

Companies keep splitting whenever there is a big loss here usually earthquakes. Welcome to what we've been working with for a long time.

Our condo associations insurer here in CA told us that our earthquake rates were to rise near 200% to "make up for those losses" [Katrina]. I've been arguing for years that the whole thing is a waste because if it's small, we can cover it, and if it's big they'll go broke anyway...

My parents had their insurance canceled when their German Shepard wouldn't allow a snooping company rep in the fenced backyard. The rep had no appointment, no one was home, he just showed up for a look around.

Insurance companies do not insure homes for earthquake in California. Earthquake insurance is provided by the California Earthquake Association -- state funded. Major concern in California are fires.
