Imagine that insurance claim !!!   or even are they covered, act of god and all that,??

If you go here ..

scroll down to the map, then "pull" the map to the Melbourne area .. down the bottom, every little pink circle is a road closed due to flooding !!! The larger circles are reports from official measuring sites on rivers, lakes etc etc.

If you got to the eastern coast around Rockhampton/Brisbane (which you can't see due to the large number of circles) every little "yellow" circle is an aerial photograph of the area.

Don't complain about a little bit of rain in the UK !!!!

no such thing as an "act of god" - insurance companies would have to pay out on the cars and buildings damaged by the severe flooding - anyone fobbed off by being told its an "act of god" should take the insurance company to court 

think about it if there was a god then you could argue that everything, by default was an act of god and as there isnt a god then its meaningless 

it is used however, to determine liability not whether or not a claim is valid
