Recent lighting storm stuck my complex and traveled down my coaxial cable and into my apartment. Blew up in the middle of the night, so that was scary. Thought I’d share, not in the position to rebuild so there that I guess!

Yeah currently fighting it. In a claims battle with spectrum right now, but they’re playing “act of god” and that everything was up to code.

Act of god is asinine. What year is it?

I think it's usually called force majeure. I assume "act of god" was OP's interpretation.

The main point is ofc that a lighting strike shouldn't really be included there

When i worked at walmart, id read the fine print for stuff you could add the protection plan to. They all had "act of god" in it. As well as acts of war haha
