Many insurance companies that WERE writing homeowner’s insurance policies pulled out of California altogether after that one. Then a few years ago the wildfires in San Diego had the same effect — skittish insurance companies turning and running after paying off on what were expensive policy claims. For anyone who has lived through a natural disaster, the recent tornadoes in Central Florida and the horrific aftermath left behind — approximately 1,500 structures destroyed and 20 people killed — brings back memories of more than just the great need for disaster relief from the federal government (FEMA).

What's Causing the Credit Crunch?
Wall Street analysts, main street investors, corporate executives and government bureaucrats all disagree on which mortgage company will be the next to trip and fall into bankruptcy. Between 2000 and 2006, defaults remained low because home prices were rising, interest rates were at historic lows and borrowers who fell behind on payments were able to simply refinance their mortgages — or sell their home for a profit.

The early morning newscast today got me wondering if Angelo Mozilo, CEO of Countrywide Financial Corp.,
