Can I have access to an explanation regarding an understanding of Section C Limitations 1.c.(1) of  CP 10 30 09 17? A desk adjuster is stating that the water from Hurricane Ida that entered through a window is not covered. I believe it is based on the fact an opening was obviously created from the positive and negative wind pressure affecting the home. This opening was caused by the wind from the hurricane. The seal between the window and wall was affected. It damaged the window's effectiveness, but did not break a pane resulting in damage to the interior of the property. Please give me some guidance.
