"Act of God"? Not failure to prudently remove a clear and present danger before God gets a chance to throw it on someone's home? And, which God? Jehovah, Zeus, Krishna, ? What if the home owner is an atheist? Is it then just an unfortunate accident? Is there no responsibility/liability for not removing a known hazard?
Love to hear the case argued in court.
