The ark in Williamstown, Ky., is seen in 2016. By Eli Rosenberg and Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow Karen Heller Karen Heller National general features writer for Style Email Bio Follow May 25 at 8:57 AM It is one of the world’s classic stories.
The irony has not been lost on local media organizations and observers on social media. Even the American Atheists took a shot on Twitter. According to the National Weather Service, on-and-off precipitation throughout the year dropped 40-50 inches of rain that year on Williamstown, the town of 4,000 where the theme park is located — just a slight bump above average.
The two sides went back and forth, according to the lawsuit and the insurance companies did pay a “very small portion” of Ark Encounter’s claim. But the organization says they have “breached their contractual obligations, acted in bad faith, and violated Kentucky law by failing to provide further coverage.”
The theme park was met with no small amount of controversy when it opened, focused mainly on its sources of funding, including the $62 million in junk bonds that were floated by the town of Williamstown.
Ahaha, was there no sort of varnish that could have probably kept that from happening? They didn’t have Thompson’s Water Seal?
I’d guess the fine print states that the policy only covers damage from rain in excess of forty days and nights.
Did the dinosaurs inside suffer?
Priceless
AlexandriaDROPP 🤣😄😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Suing who? God?
God is funny
Read the entire article and now all I can do is:
Better call Saul
In related news, Disciples sue Last Supper caterer for food poisoning
They didn't noah it was gonna rain?
Wait. Wasn’t it *literally raining for 40 days straight* when idiots believe that this bullshit actually happened? So...how did the ark avoid rain damage back then? 600-year old man ran down to Home Depot and bought a ton of Thompson’s Water Seal?
Bwahahahahaha
🤣
American Public Radio is brought to you by Irony.
Time to rename the ark USS Irony
😂 😂 😂
The irony
Thoughts and Prayers!
Why don't they sue for lack of coverage of Ken ham's brain damage
I understand Noah had the same problem. Too bad that Hezekiah Cellino and Ezekial Barnes..as instructed by the Almighty One him/herself...told Noah to go fuck off. Guess poor old Noah was up the flood without a paddle...
I love The Onion.
Ba Dum tsss
One wonders how many people supposedly helped Noah build this enormous ship and what happened to them. Did they get a spot on this ancient cruise ship, or was their spot taken by horned owls?
is this really The Onion?

Wasn’t that what the ark was built for ..... rain? Does Trump have anything to do with this plan?
I hope there's never a fire inside that thing. I don't see many exits.
Inject this into my veins
Somewhere in Nebraska there is an insurance underwriter deleting her favorite bullet point from her LinkedIn profile.
bwahahahaha - I'm sorry, but this is freaking hilarious !!! Guess they didn't get the specifications quite right after all!
No they should suing God.
don't worry, climate change won't raise the oceans for another 12 years...
Sucks!
Irony.
Pray the rain away....where is that Christian faith.
😂😂😂
Ark needs a Noah to navigate
Mother Nature wins again.
The earth is 6000 years old and this fake ark has stuffed dinosaurs in it
Irony!
I don’t believe acts of god are covered under most policies. irony
🤦♀️
So I guess lawyers are really the answer to everything, not God.
God hated their park.
Uhmmmmm.....What?
This. Is. A. Joke. Must be.
The Onion is going to go out of business soon.
Oh that’s brilliant
Rain, Ark, Damage ... Giggle ...
Love it!
Act of God. They work in mysterious ways.
so, they're not all cool with that Act of 'God'? i mean, if its good enough for my insurance company to deny me coverage, i am pretty sure its good enough for them, too. entitled christians, anyone surprised?
Mic drop...
Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah
Too funny..
'insurance companies denied claims for the improvements, saying that the policy had an exclusion for correcting design deficiencies or faulty workmanship'
I forgot in this timeline people still believed in fairy tales. At least the veil is real and you will be judged by the reaper.
I'm more amused by this than I probably should be. 😂
What's next, termites?
Why is this news.
Let them fight.
Sign of the times that nobody bothers to read the article. The Ark wasn't damaged. A road to the park is what was damaged.
This story doesn’t hold water.
I thought it was built in response to the rain
Just assuming, but would this by chance be a pair of lawyers filing two law suits?
Sending thoughts and prayers. Just kidding, I don't give a shit and hope the whole thing falls into ruin.
Karma Irony ThoughtsAndPrayers
🎶Isn’t it ironic? Dontcha think? 🎶
Sometimes Arcs take on water 😳
Obviously God is liable for designing a defective Ark...
They have my thoughts and prayers.
Hahaha!

BREAKING NEWS 2348 BC: Lawyers for Noah are suing his insurance company for rain damage.
Contractors these days aren’t worth their weight in salt. Except for the ones who look back at Sodom & Gomorrah.
Couple cans of Flex Seal
Not flooded with visitors then?
😂🤣😂
What is, the perfect analogy for Trump’s fight over financial disclosures?
It must be a design defect. Maybe they should name God as a third party defendant. Or maybe they misread the building instructions in Genesis.
Wait, this isn’t the Onion?
Well....
History repeats itself.
This is so sadly hilarious.
Acts of God aren't covered, you'd think they would know that.
Thank you
😂
is this the Onion 😂
Nottheonion
We truly are living in the Irony Age.
They should just pray for the repairs
wow. you cannot make this sht up. Have they tried praying before suing?
Irony in biblical proportions.
Um.........
It was God’s will...
😂😂😂
The ark ran aground?
Act of Angry God.
😀😀😀👏👏👏👏
They didn't see this coming? 😂😂😂
these are end times
