Wind-Driven Rain
Rain entering through a wind-created opening, typically covered.
Wind-driven rain (rain through wind-created openings) is covered. Rain through pre-existing defects (seepage, gradual leaks) usually is not. The cause chain decides coverage.
In practice
Where you encounter "Wind-Driven Rain" in Florida claims
