The issue is whether a wind-driven storm surge is the same as flooding.

Sounds like a reasonablee argument. You have to consider that the insurance companies have more money then god for legal advise when writing insurance policies. When is the last time anyone managed to get an insurance agent to redraft the language of their policy. I will not happen. If the insurance company wanted to specifically include "wind-driven storm surge" it should have included the specifica language in the policy. It did not. It should pay.
