Two dozen Angus at a farm in East Fallowfield were electrocuted by a lightning strike during the thunderstorms that blew through our area early June 29. I saw a photograph of the poor creatures lying lifeless on the ground.
Another victim of the storm, though far less significant, was West Marlborough Township secretary Shirley Walton's work computer. Lightning fried both the computer and the router at the township office. Another expense for our beleaguered township (I'm told the loss might or might not be covered by insurance).
Lightening is an act of God and is thus not covered by insurance? Are you quite sure? In other words, no weather events are covered by insurance? Also, lightening-induced electrical surges can be prevented by man; can acts of God be prevented by man? I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteHello, BT! They said at the township meeting it wouldn't be covered because it was an act of God, but the township secretary told me the insurance company said to send the claim in anyway and it MIGHT be covered.
