Owners of biblical Noah's ark replica sue over rain damage to property

The owner of the life-size replica of Noah’s Ark in Northern Kentucky has sued its insurers for refusing to cover rain damage.

Ark Encounter, which unveiled the 510-foot-long model in 2016, says that heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road, and its five insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages.

In a 77-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Ark Encounter asks for compensatory and punitive damages.

The ark itself was not damaged and the road has been rebuilt, according to the suit.

"Noah!"

"Who is that?"

"It's the Lord, Noah."

"Now what?"

"I'm going to cause another flood."

"What for?"

"Because I haven't done it in a while, and I'm out of practice."

"Yeah, well, it's a good thing I got insurance this time."

"They won't pay."

"Why not?"

"They'll just say it's my fault."

"Well, isn't it?"

"Sure, but I'm not paying either."

"Well, then why should I take care of this stupid ark any longer?"

"Noah?"

"Yeah?"

"How long can you tread water?"

And they're far from wingnuts. It's quite an impressive structure, TBH. The headline sounds funny, but it's the ROAD, not the ark, that had problems with getting washed away.
