A 5.0 is a pretty small earthquake, one that won't cause any significant - if any - damage. We have them in the west pretty regularly and sometimes you can't even really feel them.
Earthquake insurance in the midwest is as necessary as tornado insurance is in the west. In other words, ridiculous.

Nobody has earthquake insurance - it's exceptionally rare (and incredibly expensive). That was the point I was making - for the most part, earthquake coverage is a very bad investment.
