I have a building with some apartments for which I pay quite a lot for insurance against earthquakes and hurricanes. Somebody said to me yesterday that I was mad, because in the case of a big event the chances of the insurance companies paying out was nil. Any thoughts?

Bigger insurance companies are re-insured by world wide underwriters who spread their risk among the world's geography. There are maybe 3 insurance companies on the island that fit this description, that could survive and an island wide disaster.

Such as MAPFRE BHD?

The next one will be on July 13th about 8 am - it will do little damage but will shut down the airport for a week or two causing me to miss my flight home - dogs are sensitive to this and I have conferred with my golden retriever Buddy and he says this is what will happen

According to what I have read, many millions of years ago, the Barahona peninsula was a separate island that collided with the rest of Hispaniola, and there is some sort of sunbjuction where these two islands met, and a fault line that runs under the ocean. This is the cause of earthquakes on the island.
