1 in 10 weather events form a compensation event... As we know, we've had way more than 1 in 10 rain this year (though they haven't claimed for that yet!).

Just rechecked the contract though and wind isn't in there as one of the measured events

Oh dear...

Hmmm. 100mph tailwind? Anyone looking for a personal best?

How bad does it have to get before it's considered Force Majeure? Hurricane?

Correct, and neither is flood unless added as a z clause or there are trigger levels in the WI.

Though if your on an option E then it sits with the Employer anyway and under option C you'll share it. I think I've just ruined this thread........

No, No! Let's have another 8 pages on Consequential Loss and Disbursement!

Because we all love that.

Option A with Z clauses.

No, flood isn't, but rainfall is (

days of 5mm above, IIRC at this late time of night!) which we definitely have had many of. Fortunately they're too busy banging in completely BS claims to think of lining up something valid like that!
