It may seem a bit ironic but the owners of Kentucky's Noah's ark attraction are suing their insurers over damage caused by flooding.
In a federal lawsuit, the owners of the Ark Encounter are asking for a $1 million settlement after the attraction's insurers, Allied World Assurance Co. Holdings of Switzerland and three other insurance companies, refused to cover damage after heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road, the Courier Journal reports.
Opened in 2016, the 510-foot-long wooden ark has been a popular attraction in Williamstown, Kentucky.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages and stipulates that the ark itself was not damaged.
The ark is was reportedly built to the dimensions specified in the story of Noah in the Bible and is the largest timber-frame structure in the world.
That reference went 30,000’ over my head.
Here I thought I knew Cosby . . .
Neither answer my question as to whether the road was covered. However, the DailyBeast did say that the road was improperly built, so that does raise the possibility that it may have been covered.
Sigh. I’m old enough to remember when Cosby was a beloved, family-friendly comedian.
Buck-buck number five!
Maybe the animals can become cocktail waitresses ; )
I’m certain that their insurance company has an exclusion for an act of God. Mine does. They should have bought specific flood insurance.
Funny story.

In a story May 24 about property damage at a Noah’s Ark attraction in Kentucky, The Associated Press reported erroneously that flooding caused the damage. The damage was caused by heavy rains over a period of two years.
Well the ark was only designed for 40 days and 40 nights, so exceeding design specs by 500% is a bit much...
Ruby Falls, and she can't get up.
I live in NE Alabama and I see signs, see ruby falls everywhere.
