    That's what I don't understand either.

    It's like someone burning down your house, the resulting conflagration burns down your neighbors house, and they want to sue you.

    Or someone stealing your car, recklessly driving it and killing someone, and you getting sued for it.

    For once I agree with Gayrod. Not about his penis sucking fetish.

    Build a large building and it will get hit with lightning. So you have to design for lightning protection.

    Commercial fuel storage tank owners have long been required to provide secondary containment around their tanks. Tanks can fail due to any number of reasons. Why should a distiller be exempt from such a common sense requirement?

    OR; you could take your hurt feelings, polish them up nice and shiny, turn then side ways, and shove them back up your ass; because you're the one who brought up the idea of a "berm".

    OH, really.

    Then you'll be able to tell me where it's going to strike next; plus are you suggesting that if your house fire sets your neighbors house on fire, that you're responsible!!

    Until it's been shown that due diligence regarding lighting protection, wasn't followed and that a secondary containment was required and ignored; I'll stick with them not being responsible.

    This seems to be the reason that they would purchase insurance, much like we do. If my house catches fire, for a reason other than arson, I have to pay for the cleanup, usually we don't even think of the cost because we are all required to have insurance that winds up paying for it.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    The operations didn't cause it.

    If you lefties didn't support illegals being here, Kate Steinle and Mollie Tibbetts would be alive.

    Why do you insist that GovCo be involved at all? People (corporations are groups of people) have a responsibility to mitigate damages that they cause, regardless of the circumstances.

    Only your bank requires you to have insurance. Pay off your mortgage and you can fire your insurer the next day. I wouldn't advise that...

    That you admit it was weather discredits your claims it was their operations.

    If lightning strikes and burns your house, I hope you get stuck inside.
