Well, they can probably drop you for any reason they can come up with, but I think you are right in theory. Both of our claims were not acts of nature. First, we had a short in our circuit box and the entire box and wiring coming into the house had to be replaced. Second, we had a car fire in our driveway that did some property damage (had to repave, replace garage door, replace lighting fixture that melted, etc.).
